What is your air filter/jetting? When I ditched the can stock it gained quite a bit of power.

I replaced the stock air filter with a gs500 hi flow air filter retaining the stock air box.
the jetting I'm not positive about yet. I was told it was jetted when I bought the bike but no details on it yet.http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTA2NlgxNj...1-w~~60_57.JPG

Yep Same filter I installed in mine. ;) :)

Awesome,when I got mine stock I cut the can off and went from a struggle to 55 to 75 easily. Deff gotta get bigger sprocket the vibes are killer on the highway.

I tried a few different sprocket sizes and ended back at stock. I put brand new front and rear sprockets and chain on a few weeks ago. I don't have any vibration problems.

Really? My gz humms at anything over 65

Easy fix. Don't go over 65. The GZ will normally go faster than that but it won't like it.
In the real world the bike is geared for most riders and roads. It was never meant to be a freeway bike and competing with big bikes, cars and trucks.

I guess your right but I just can't see myself avoiding highways due to rattle, the bike has much more power than a city hopper.

That may be true but we had a rash of members with dropped valves which seemed to boil down to higher speeds and hotter engines. You have to keep in mind the GZ is a 3rd world bike. Made to be a workhorse and family limo rather than a racehorse.

I really wish I never learned that.

You can always unlearn it...

SwamiJon says "Gz is bike made for very fast vroom vroom. Race. Race. Race. "

Swamijon is a wise man indeed.

I think I saw him at Walmart last week.

Yeah, he visits all the walmarts around the world spreading words of wisdom. lol. :cheers:

I wonder if he got his hair done at the Wally World salon

his hair is like that from riding his gz250 without a helmet. lol. :lmao:

That's the wrong finger he's giving you. :lmao:

Indeed.

Actually he just picked his nose and was looking at the booger.

Emgo universal turn out style slip on muffler. Cheap and easy to install. It comes with everything you need in the box. Me and and a buddy put one on mine 2008 gz and it sounds amazing. Like an actual motorcycle. People can hear me coming now and it really allows for a more confident and safer ride. As well as looking and sounding really cool.

Please keep in mind that loud pipes do not save lives. A loud pipe is only heard by folks behind you, not anywhere else. There will be a few exceptions to the rule of course. I once had a friend "Andy" with a Vstrom 1000 with aftermarket mufflers..............very loud. I could hear his bike 300 or 400 feet behind me. I would never ride behind him for fear of hearing damage. Andy was already 90% deaf so he had no idea how loud the bike really was.

pipe ideas please
 

any one got some pipe ideas that fit stock pipes ?

photos be great

I measured the diameter of my pipe and looked around online and found some on ebay to fit. All I had to do was find the look I wanted. :ride:
