okay, first, I am very happy with it, I like the ride quality, the power is great, however there are a few nagging things. First I am comming off many dirt bikes, and many street bikes, a few of which are Vtwins, including a current SV1000, and I had a Buell last year, both vtwins. The first complaint is the sound, it is the worse sounding engine I have ever heard, it sounds like you are tourting it, it sounds like it is sputtering. Do they sound more normal or at least better with a slippon? Second is the pedal location, I will order the aftermarket pedals on monday. Last the engine heat comming from under the center (armrest). Any ideas on this last one?
My plans, in order, pedals, rear cage, rear seat, CDI and pipe, shocks, then seats and wheels.

Heat is greater when new.....I could hardly stay in the thing. I now ride in 95+ heat each day at my ranch...and there is no heat issue.

Two things...remove the windshield., that's the single biggest problem...and the motor needs some time. I have 42 hours on mine now, and as i said, heat is not now an issue.

I like you....don't care of the exhaust note on this thing at all, but don't want to spend the money for an aftermarket one.

what is your exhaust suggestion, your post was unclear?

I don't have one, since I have the stock exhaust. But I do not like the sound of it...just as you indicated. IBased upon what I have read here and elsewhere the Muzzy exhaust is the one I'd buy....but I don't want to spend the $900 for it. I have a diesel truck, with 4 inch exhaust, and that exhaust was like $400....I just can't see that kind of money for a Teryx exhaust.

I just ordered the tip from ebay, we will see if it helps at least a bit

Cavi, I'm thinking like JC.....would like a little throatier sound, but can' justify the $900 or whatever for Muzzy's. Let us know how the tip works. Do you have the option of spark arrestor yes/no with the tip? I don't need one when riding my own land in Wisconsin, but definitely will on public land in Montana.

Yes...let us know how the sound changes with the tip. I might break for that. I have the SA removed for some time now...I use primary just on my ranch.

yes it come with a SA, just a screen but it works

I suspect that tip with a SA..even just a screen will cut performance. I'm running without the SA stock exhaust....and there are performance gains by removing...and it's just a screen as well.
