XV250 Ebay/Amazon Slash Cut Exhaust Install Walkthrough

An in depth walkthrough for installing the cheap slash cut straight pipe exhausts for the XV250 commonly found on ebay and amazon. These specific pipes are the "Tarazon" brand on amazon. This video covers up close detail to allow owners with various levels of mechanical skill to install these pipes while following along.

YOU WILL NEED TO REJET YOUR CARB
My bike was already jetted richer than factory at 20 idle 115 main (stock is 17.5 and 110) and it was dangerously lean at wide throttle. If your bike is popping and backfiring on deceleration that's your sign. Shim the needle and rejet with larger jets. I found 2 shims with a 20 idle and 120 main worked great on my bike.

In Brazil, our exhaust manufacturers for Virago, large factories or homemade, make a new curve underneath, keeping the false curve. the tube doesn't overheat, doesn't turn blue, and doesn't need heat shielding or tape. Some do it at home and burn their legs.

I have since taken the baffles out and have been running open pipes. Its certainly louder, but runs much better at high throttle. I felt that no matter my carb tuning the baffled drag pipes reduced my top speed compared to the stock exhaust. Now with open pipes and proper tuning the top speed is about the same. But from 0-45 its much much faster and more responsive.

If you dont mind the noise and the crap fit go ahead and get them.

Life saver! I was wondering on my build why fuel was coming from the exhaust, took my exhaust off the previous people didn’t put the gasket on..

Thank you very much for this tutorial. It helped me prepare the project well and identify potential challenges.

Just got my 125 virago (first real bike) and love how clear your information and video is that's awesome bud

Keep your old pipes. When you sell the bike eventually you may be asked about the quieter stock exhaust. Not everyone is in line with LPSL.

Just fitted one of these to my 2004, same fitment issue. If they just put a bit better effort into the manufacturer of the front pipe they would be a perfect budget pipe

Double and triple check the welds on the mounting brackets. The bracket welds or bad redo the bracket welds.

Open pipes make that tiny cruiser sound big!! Better sound than open pipe Rebel.

crazy that yamaha made that top pipe a fake exhaust... Great info! Sounds Great

[ryandavis]

Brilliant video! May ask if you had any fuel issues..did it affect you mpg . Kind regards Ryan

[derickrichards]

Were you getting a lot of backfiring after you did this?

[ernesstcruz]

Do you recommend the Tarazon brand? I have a Suzuki C50 and that brand is very cheap but I don't know the quality of the exhausts.

[johnhughes]

Good video but maybe record your next away from a busy road.

Do you have the link of amazon for buy it??

[Omnipotent-C]

Do you really need to rejet? Couldn't you just turn the fuel mixture screw to 2 turns instead of 1/4.

It really kills me that this 250 has as much HP as my yamaha sr400. Though its hard to not have ad much horsepower as my sr400. Its amazing how yamaha engineers were able to get such little power out of 400cc.

[redfield]

nice vidio but i dont know how you live there with that noise

[lawnboyfromhell]

Too bad the people making them don't use measuring equipment before the welder😂

How tf it says 1400cm3 on gasket hahaha
