    That's the exhaust and headers I have on my seca! Except mine has some rust on and missing the badge on the muffler. I want mine to look nice like that one! I have no idea where to get a replacement either.

    You'd have to contact Kerker directly and see if they have replacement parts for your system.

    Yeah, should've left it. It was consistent and pulled hard off the line, would take full throttle without hesitation. Now I'm back to starting over. I'll blame it on being my first Yamaha!

    You adjust in bumps, not turns. Bump, wait a bit, check color, bump again if needed. Dime-widths; not turns.

    Slow turns, definitely wasn't bumping and waiting though. Will try that this weekend.

    My wife wondered what the hell was wrong with my bike first time I rode it with her. I do like it, makes me feel like one of those families that got to drive a Chrysler turbine car in the 60's for a couple months.

    Spot on advice once again. I wasn't being patient enough with the adjustment. While it ran good before, I'm really happy now that I went back thought this procedure. Don't worry, I had a fan running for adjustment, just killed it for the video. Just got to wrap up that front brake issue and I'm done!
