Am getting a stock 99 VT600 being in Europe where they kept the early configuration except for the gear ox as we got 5 speeds so it has dual carbs and the rear light up behind the rear seat. As I said it's stock and although when it was fired up it sounded quite nice I have been seriously considering buying a set of Marving long drag pipes these are made in Italy so shipping and import is so much easier and cheaper.
Now what I am wondering is should I also get a pair of velocity stacks for it and of course a re-jetting kit?
@Kevin Peckham if you get exhaust you have to tune. you might as well go one step further and get the stacks and a performance tuning kit and actually wake the bike up. well worth it in my opinion.
If your going to do it, do it the best you can.
I got rid of my last bike due to ECM tuning lean condition.
A tune is a must, and the parts are here for the getting.
@TJ Understand the need to tune just priced up carb tune kit, velocity stack and carb boot kit. Trouble is the high shipping cost $85.95 shipping then we got import duty and AT at 20% am going to have ti re-think this.
Oh yeah I was misinformed the bike is a single carb model finally got it home from the dealers Wednesday rode it the 46km home it does not rune well needs choke knob pulled out a few mm to get it to idel and pick up. Air filter is not nice no idea when it was last serviced only has 19,000km on clock the float valves are not shutting off fuel flow made a rookie mistake and left fuel turned on and tis morning found a damp patch under bike. Yep fuel so checked oil level and yep contaminated and over full so had to drain it got 3 litres out of it not canged filter yet as did not have one but had oil here so it's got fresh oil in once get a new oil filter will change oil again.
