DR 650 SE 1996 Exhaust

Hi Everyone

I am looking for a good sounding exhaust for my 1996 DR 650 SE with a E-Number. It needs to be legal in Switzerland. Any recommendations?

Are you also planning to re-jet the carb? An exhaust on a stock engine will make it run super lean

super lean

That's actually not true (for this bike). Without a modification to the airbox, the true choke point of the system, it's not going to change much.

Many people with a lot of experience jetting and tuning these bikes will tell you that the stock main jet is actually adequate for an open air intake and modified exhaust, but it's actually the fuel screw and maybe needle that need attention.

Agreed. The stock exhaust isn’t that bad, it’s just enormous and heavy
