DMC Alien for Z250 Review & Install Steps
#31
I plan on ordering my exhaust real soon. (if my wife doesnt shoot me first) how do you like the t-9 wheels ? do they look good and how are they holding up? when i get the exhaust I think I may order the quiet core . I love the sound of the real thing but we have an 80 acre horse farm so I realy cant be to loud. how much louder than stock is it, without the quiet core?

It is extremely L-O-U-D.....definitely more then enough to aggrevate neighbors and that horse farm....that's probably why they offer the quiet core. I'm really happy with the T-9 rims...they've held up very, very well..... no dings, chips, scratches, etc.....Also, our rims came with polished aluminum valve stem sleeves and caps....suttle, but nice little touch.

Eric said they do come with chrome valve stem sleeves and caps .did you go with the 5+6 offset ? did it help with stability around corners? so I guess I'll get the quiet core for sure now since it is so loud

I cannot believe what you guys pay for your first service! I only paid about R200.00 ($30.00)! It is important to have your first service when recommended because they initially put in a special lubricating / running in oil and that needs to be changed to normal oil.
I also felt that my machine was a bit sluggish when I got her back from the service but after about an hour she was 100% again.
I've got the Air Age silencer on mine now and it does make a difference from the stock and also it does not sound like a lawnmower no more (LOL). The dyno and jetting for the new pipe is only costing about $46.00. I must admit though that here in SA we are being ripped off with parts and accessories. I bought the trail tech computer from Rockymountain and with postage it came to R700.00, here at home in the bike shop it costs R2000.00! Also a pair of riding boots will set you back on average $300.00.
Anyways missed riding this weekend as my bike is in for the dyno and jetting, can't wait to pick her up on Saterday!
