Advice on muffler for Yamaha TRX850

From: Alix on 12 Jul 2008 00:45 Just purchased a '96 Yamaha TRX850. It's a very nice bike but the stock mufflers make it sound pretty lame. What's a good brand of muffler that will bring out the rumble? (Yes I know it's Japanese but some of us have kids and a morgage so the best we can do is pretend it's an Italian twin).

You mean apart from, say, Akrapovic, D&D or Staintune: http://www.staintune.com.au/exhausts/yamaha/Yamaha%20TRX%20850.htm HTH -- Regards Andrew

I still can't believe there's still a TRX850 out there with the stock mufflers. Nev.. '07 XB12X

You'd be doing a dis-service with any other brand. justAL "Alix" <dontbotherreplyinghere(a)bigpond.com> wrote in message news:aGWdk.18952$IK1.385(a)news-server.bigpond.net.au... > Just purchased a '96 Yamaha TRX850.

Euro style white faced instruments (still with Yamaha logos on them), red bike with white frame but different decals. It seems the Japs went a little further to replicate the Italian look in their local release of the bike but restrictions still prevented the sports exhaust. |
