Hi everyone first post here. I have a 2000 ds 650 all stock and I want to do some small upgrades. I'm planning on getting a k&n air filter and a big gun cdi I also want to get a slip on but idk what one to get. I want as much power as possible but not to loud. And if I did all of this what tuning should I do to carb ect. Thanks

 

Welcome aboard. First you will want to do the OMR stock carb mods. Without fail.
You'll get lots of different opinions on this one but I'll give you mine. HMF is probably the quietest slip on. Yoshi is probably the best performing. And there are a host of others in between. There is a great performing open end cap out there but definitely not quiet. Then there are end caps with discs that can be adjusted for sound/performance.
Do the OMR mods first, it's FREE.

 

i agree...not that that matters...hahah but have been on forum for yrs and these guys no there stiuff....i am a huge fan of the end cap over the slip on ....dynoed better results back in the day and a fraction of cost...only thing is you keep the weight of stock...good luck and have fun

these guys are the best!! and aceisback is alright also...jk

 

Alright thanks I'll give it a try

 

Vic, this reminds me I need to send you a pipe to test out. Will try to get it to you before the end of this season, that is ending all too soon.

 

even though a stock pipe with a tip may produce good performance results,the weight savings was my biggest reason for canning it,feels like 3 times heavier than the supertrapp i replaced it with.

 

Welcome to the forums infantryvet. Semper Fi

There is a weight savings to be sure, but the DS exhaust from the headers on back is a very well tuned stock exhaust and by opening up the cannister with either the open endcap or the SuperTrapp disced system you get that much more at a fraction of the cost of a slip-on or complete system.

Scott, might as well wait till next season, the 10 day forecast for Glamis shows high 80's all the way through and it's only going to get hotter from here on out. I've still got three or four trips planned depending on the weather so it's up to you.
