Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

last weekend I picked up a pair of renegade cans through ebay, fitted them today, and took it out for a spin to get fuel. Jeeeeesus theyre loud, Im used to a loud ish sv650, but these are on another level.

I thought they had no packing at first,but as harsh as they are, I do quite like it, good job I dont ride far each day,although wether the neighbours will be as keen as I am.

The TRX being a 270 degree cranked twin does `boom` somewhat through ANY race cans with straight through absorption tubes. Remember your SV650 doesn`t move as much `air` as a TRX when it breathes out being two 325cc pistons.

I had some renegade cans and found them very loud.
I tend to ride with db killers in cos that takes the edge of whilst still getting the bike boom!

When I had my TRX, a girl I worked with thought it had started thundering outside the first time she heard it start up I miss my TRX

Get another Kayla, yours was looking quite tidy before you binned it

Swapped my standard cans for a pair that been 'bafflectomied'
Swapped those for a pair of MTC cans with dB killers
dB killers now on the shelf in the garage
I do have to be a bit careful with the throttle until I'm off the estate
... but on the open roads

PS ... in case you think I'm a young hooligan , I turned 61 yesterday

I'd love to but I don't think I'll find another import with the red frame for a while, and it'd have to be an import just because, well, just because

getting used to it more as I use the bike daily for work commute. I doubt I`ll get some db killers, but the "competion use only" does need removing

Anyone know if cans only generally need bigger jetting?

A standard trx runs a bit rich so freeflowing cans usually make it run better without any carb jiggery pokery at all.

doesnt seem so loud 3 days in, so theyre staying for now

Thats because you are deaf now

Remus cans on mine. Not sure which models - came with the bike but loud enough to set off car alarms as I found out by accident outside Lincoln cathedral a few weeks ago - didn't go down too well with a few locals.....

They roar when I give it beans, they rumble when I ease off.

my carbon oval harpoon cans are real loud...they probably need repacking now.... i have them in the shed i may put them next year if i keep the bike...
