So what do you do when a guy on the internet tells you that you can make your exhaust sound better by pounding holes in it with a screwdriver? Did I just get pranked by ramming holes in my exhaust?

The best sound out of a KLR 650 exhaust is the clank it makes when you rip it off a brand new bike and toss it on the steel recycle pile at the landfill.

Hey no problem! They fit like magic on the KLR and have done a pretty good jobs protecting the fairings from slight bumps and bruises. They also keep my legs warmer while riding in winter. They're called "Classic Accessories QuadGear ATV Tank Cargo Bag (Black)" and you can find them on Amazon. I got mine for $40, it looks like they're about $60 now.

Judging from the turn signals and luggage rack, he has a Gen 1 KLR (2007 and older). The Gen 2 (2008-2013) and Gen 2.5 (2014-18) have an updated muffler that has "drain plugs" for you to knock/wash carbon buildup that can cause chirping.

Hey man first of all I appreciate your service (by your handle and your picture). Some KLRs tend to have it and some don't. I'm not sure exactly what it is that makes the chirp, but it might have something to do with altitude.

My Dad has an 05' KLR650 and we put a dowel (3/4") into the exhaust pipe, and took a 2 3/4" hole saw and drilled out the baffel. Took it completely out, and then took 3 clip nuts, a large flat washer and a small piece of tail pipe and made an end-cap for it. It's throaty and runs a lot smoother. His had that obnoxious chirp when it was stock too... haha.

@bobkelly2447 3 жыл бұрын

I've modified exhaust systems for decades anyone that tells you your engine will not benefit from breathing better doesn't know what their talking about ! My favorite mod is if you can get the muffler apart is to throw away all of the internal crap and just put the cap back on... sometimes however, that is just too loud to keep that way ! Honda Motorcycles of Old were notorious for choking down their motors to where they barely ran.... hense all my modifications ! if you have a 1 1/4" exhaust pipe header and it connects to the head.... and the muffler is only a 3/4" hole the engine is suffering, because of that...it can't breathe ! if you have close to a 2" header and a 1" exhaust outlet what is the point ? manufacturers did this to quiet down those big noise makers... but it turns out that you are 10 times safer if you are riding a bike that can be heard ! 80 DB is good enough don't go to 120db like most harley riders do , that is excessive noise and frowned upon by everyone but bike owners ! inside a muffler can be rebuilt using expanded steel mesh formed into a tube and fiberglass matting packed around it a baffle can be made for your bike that will quiet it down immensely ... all it takes is drilling a thousand holes in the pipe and closing off the inner end.... if you want to do it right, the outlet for the exhaust should be slightly bigger than the inlet . but not so big as to make it a megaphone effect. if you have a 2 into 1 muffler the outlet should be almost 3 times as big as the individual pipes coming in this is the exact opposite of what manufacturers produce... anyone that says you want back pressure in your exhaust system is totally misinformed ! ...WRONG ! you want a vacuum if you can get it not pressure !!! and you can get that vacuum by running a long straight pipe to a certain length .... pulling up on the piston when it's on it's exhaust stroke really helps in performance ! however on a motorcycle that is close to impossible to accomplish the best you can hope for is no pressure or very little pressure on the exhaust stroke ...sticking a screwdriver in the muffler is Crude at best, but it is easy to see the performance increase and sound change.... what you need to do now is drill as many holes in the flat back of the muffler as you can get in there... I'ed go with 3/8" drill and drill about 50 holes ! .... drill 8 first and see if more is going to make it too loud , just put a ring of holes around the exhaust outlet and you'll finally be rid of that back pressure !
