Yoshimura Slip-ons

Yoshimura is now making slip-on exhaust cannisters for the EX250. One club member recently purchased a set. He says they have a deeper, throatier sound than stock and are, of course, louder. Another 250 rider described the sound as "very deep, louder than stock, but not nearly as loud as the Muzzy."

Installation is quite easy. Unbolt the stock mufflers, pull them off, slide the mufflers on the pipes, and put the clamps around the canisters. Then loosely bolt everything together, adjust them to your liking, and bolt everything down. The instructions are pretty good, though you may not need them. They even tell you how to clean the canisters properly.

The Yoshis are a bit lighter than stock. The center stand is retained; there is a bumpstop for the rubber mount on the centerstand to hit on the left canister, although our test model was a Muzzy refugee and didn't have a centerstand installed, so the fit for the stand couldn't be tested.

We have pictures.
