I haven't had a chance yet to make an audio recording of the exhaust note.

I did get a chance to take in on a short ride today. I like it, a lot. The exhaust note is just about right. Not too loud, not too quiet, just a nice deep throaty sound. I did notice that the performance above 7500 rpm has improved - it doesn't feel like it runs into a wall up there.

Of course, I do think the new exhaust flows a whole lot better than the stocker.




Off the top of my head, I'll bet the HMF has the ability to flow about 4 times the amount of air that the stock one does.

A couple of KLR650 buddies came over today. I lent them a hand changing out the "Doohickeys" in their bikes. I did not get a chance to get the flange mod done this weekend, but it is still on the list of things to do.

Now if the pumper carb gets here soon, I'll have another chance to play with the bike!
