Is there a particular exhaust that is notorious for difficult installation on the 636? I’ve heard some horror stories!

I’ve found that certain brands come with missing hardware! Always good to check everything before you start working.

I recently went through a similar install and had to run to the hardware store last minute because of missing bolts. Quite the adventure, I’ll tell you! :joy:

It’s so true! I learned the hard way to always prepare and check first. What’s the best practice to ensure the installation goes smoothly?

Hey! If you’re considering an aftermarket exhaust, remember to check local emission regulations. Mods can influence whether your bike is street-legal. Some exhausts might not meet EPA standards, which can lead to fines!

Good point! Are there specific brands that are known for meeting these regulations?

27

I’ve heard Yoshimura and Akrapovic provide quality exhausts that comply with most regulations. Just make sure to research your state’s laws about modifications!

28

Has anyone faced issues with warranty claims after altering their exhaust? Just a thought!

Yes, changing the exhaust can void your warranty. Always check with your dealership before making upgrades to avoid surprises later. It’s best to play it safe!

Another thing to consider is your insurance policy. Some insurers might not cover bikes with modified exhausts, so it’s good to talk to them first!

31

That’s a great point! Custom mods can impact your premium. Just make sure to keep your insurer in the loop about any changes to avoid issues down the road.

Haha, just make sure whatever you get isn’t louder than a jet engine. You don’t want to be the one who gets pulled over because your exhaust sounds like a horror movie!

33

True that! But isn’t a little extra noise part of the fun?

I get that! But there’s a line between fun and getting a ticket. Just make sure to balance performance with practicality! It’s all about finding the right fit for your riding style.

That’s true! Maybe I’d go for a middle ground—better sound but still street legal?
