Well, when I bought it had a Two Bros exhaust on it and I figured I could quite it down and it wasn't the best engine, but it would work. Since then I have bought the Two Bros restrictor (35.00) and that was still to loud so I pulled it (only 400 miles on it) and put on the stock muffler. That just draws my attention to the absolutely ridicules vibration the engine puts out above 4k.
So am I trying to cover up engine flaws, yes. But what else can I do? The engine acts like a tractor engine. it has bad vibs that start at 3500 rpm and get COMPLETELY annoying at 4k and up. Beats me why they couldn't make a twin without all the vib issues.
Yes I have geared it up in front and sown in back. I have the highest gearing you can put on the bike just to get a lower rev at hwy speeds. And yes I know I am sacrificing the low end on dirt (not happy about that but you have to get to the dirt).
I have read the post on the guy that altered his stock muffler but no one around here will take that on. And again, not sure that would not just cover up the boring vibrating engine by letting me hear some music (not looking for noise, just a distraction). I have also listened to other mufflers, but 800.00 for a slip on, ridicules. But again, IT IS NOT THE EXHAUST, it is the bad engine vibs!!!
What can I guy do to get the motor to rev more freely and not shake you off the bike.
Has the bike been to a shop for the first service - Yes. So it is not an uncommon engine issue. it is just a boring reving vibrating design mess.
Am I looking to sell it, wish I could, but the loss is not in my books. I have to live with my decision. Am I looking to sell the carbon black Two Bros exhaust, YOU BET. Or trade it. Would I try to get my stock muffler altered, yes if the service becomes available(please someone start doing this). If only to get my mine off the motor. But what it really needs is a redesign and I am not sure anything that can be done on the outside will solve the problem.
Note - I have a R9t, a KGT1200, a Buell (HD motor), a Honda CB550 and a Honda T110. And the Honda T110 is the only one that comes close to putting out vibrations as bad and it still would have to get twice as bad to equal the F800GSA (2017)
Has anyone one out there been able to get the motor to rev smoothly over 3500 - 4000? What did it take? [
