Great video, LOVED the music dude! V Star's are such awesome bikes!

These 650 are awesome to have!!

Good Information... Awesome color combo on your bike 👍😎

love the color of your bike. vstar is such a great bike no matter the engine size.. ride on and keep 2 down!

you dont have to remove the carbs on the 650 at all to rejet them

You dont have to, but for me atleast they are alot easier to work with when they are off the bike! Especially since my drain screws are both stuck x) additionally adjusting the needle jets are imo better to do off the bike since its a lower risk of parts getting lost

Just want to clarify about the oil in the airbox, the breather hose vents out from the crankcase, not the combustion chamber. What I was trying to say is that with too high pressures for example with overfilled oil, the breather alleviates the pressure, but too high pressure will cause piston ring bypass, and oil will end up in the combustion chamber. The breather hose does NOT vent the combustion chamber.

Hi, could you please share the link where you brought the hypercharger from please? including all the extentions etc please

Hola amigo , que hiciste con la base del filtro que quítaste, necesito una para mí moto

Nice to meet you, excuse my question. The carburetor was disassembled in the video, and there was a scene of a piston needle and a main jet. Will those two points come with them? What did the needle do in particular?

Do you think it’s worth it to mod the bike or is it better to upgrade to a higher cruiser. It’s a beautiful rig regardless

I have this bike, did this upgrade add more power ?

Since they have discontinued the hypercharger for the vstar 650, do you know if there is an adaptor kit available from anyone? It appears it is a stock hypercharger, and that all Kuryakin does is provide a different adaptor kit for each bike. Your thoughts?

I have the same theory as you do, unfortunately the mounting bracket cant be obtained from elsewhere atleast from what Ive seen. I bought the hypercharger new in April this year, probably a few places still stock them!

PO of my 650 messed up the aircleaner housing. Broke the mounts and stripped the little allen bolts. Any chance you still have that and would sell?

Is rejetting necessary to install the Hypercharger, or did you do it because you were already near the carbs? 🤔

@Anti6ody

Hello, thanks for watching! Rejetting is necessary or it will run lean. You probably wont get a noticable performance increase though :) I felt it being more responsive to the throttle but if you want this mod it should mainly be due to aesthetics and not performance, hope this helped!

Why can’t I find these for my 1100?

Is there an install kit part number?

So did you plug the carb hose it to the front on the hypercharger near the butterfly flaps

@Anti6ody

3 жыл бұрын

No, the vacuum lines go to the T-connector which connects in turn to the front of the hypercharger. The vacuum drives the flaps. The carb hose is connected via a metal tube onto a second rubber hose which then goes to the back of the hypercharger. This is the carb vent hose I believe.

I found this same air cleaner on revzilla, it’s says it’s for Yamaha but says it won’t fit my 02 650. Did you have the same problem but just made it work?

Hi! I'm getting a 650 this month. Is it worth the upgrade in your opinion? Do you feel any significant improvement? I haven't got to ride it yet but from what I heard, the bike is not too powerful (even tho i'm not looking for much power). Is rejetting the carb and all that investment worth it? Appreciate your tutorial!

@Anti6ody

2 жыл бұрын

Hi! Its definitely not worth it if you are looking for a power increase. The Vstar is a great bike, dont get me wrong, but its heavy and doesnt produce much power to begin with. Even with rejetting, the power difference is not huge. I havent had it dynod but I can feel it being more responsive to the throttle (but this could be just because of better jetting since they come lean from the factory). If you love the looks of the hypercharger like me, its worth it. And rejetting is almost always worth it when you mod the bike, its not at all difficult with this bike, just scary the first time!

Looks awesome! I own a vstar 950 and really want to put the same on my bike. Have you made any extra adjustments on the bike in order to install the Hypercharger? EFI injection control unit for example. My bike does not have any extras and I want to prevent causing problems on the long-term.

Hey! Thanks for watching. My bike is a vstar 650 from 1998, so its carburetted. I had to rejet the carburettors with larger main jets, shim the needle jets and adjust the PMS idle screws. You cant get by without rejetting. But for most efficiency if you have EFI, it should be mapped with your air intake and exhaust. I dont think it will be bad for your bike since EFI basically adjusts the optimal fuel air ratio, but mapping will make it perfect

Thank you for your reply, it is much appreciated. The bike has Vance and Hines Big Radius exhaust system but no EFI. I am asking because I have been informed that the total cost for purchasing, isntalling and adjusting for optimal use should be around €1500. Comparing to the Hypercharher which costs around €400, it seems a bit much. Or not?

@@carter2000sickdunk hey, sorry for the late reply! Thats quite the steep price. Unfortunately I dont have much knowledge regarding EFI since carburetors are the only fuel system I have experience with. But my understanding is that the bike will run fine, but not optimal, you may experience worse mileage but I doubt your engine will take damage. I would say try to find out what needs to be done, most likely you will be able to figure something else out.

what that do?

Too bad you had to have the music playing on your video--would have been better to hear how you were doing the work on the jets.

Unfortunately I havent taken it to get dynod, the only rough estimation I have is that 0-100km/h is slightly faster. Before it was between 8-9 seconds now its between 7-8. The biggest difference is the acceleration at highway speeds, it definitely responds better at speeds above 80km/h.

@@siryamsalot4722 I highly doubt that a slightly larger induction system (rejet or not) would knock a second off. Unless you had leafs and dirt and maybe a squirrel living in your old induction system. Most of these plastic made in China parts tend to slow bikes down rather than speed them up by causing imbalance, inefficiency, etc. You increased your air intake but didn't increase your output nor optimise for the new pressure. You've got the GIANT ass bazooka OEM exhausts on it that alone would be choking up your bike. Not to mention making it sound like a singer sowing machine. Get some Vance and Hines short shots on that baby and bob it, that rear fender looks like a grandpa bike. First thing I did with mine was drop that, before I even found a bobbed rear fender, just rode it with a single seater on it. They're okay bikes. Powerless, slow, but cheap to run.

Good to see a vide this but it would help greatly to tell people step by step and remove the music this is not a music vid

so it is a filter

At high rpm’s. Unforeseen things happen with engines not designed to spin that fast. Harmonics

having those exposed carburetor intake's uncovered makes me anxious! otherwise great video

the Kuryakin hypercharger is ONLY for racing bikes that will be running at high speeds. it is NOT intended for street bikes. Because it is ram air injection you CAN NOT jet the bike for all speeds - you can only get the jets right for one speed. For a racing bike that would be WFO (100mph or more if you take the rev limiter off) the reason is simple. The air filter that is stock on the bike, and most aftermarket air filter pods let the carbs PULL in more air. If you also put an after market exhaust on the bike you can get more HP out of the engine, and you can find the proper jets and needle valve settings to get the proper Air/Fuel mixture. But with ram air you get much more air at higher road speeds than you do at cruising speeds. If you jet the bike so the mixture is correct at 80, 90 or 100 mph, then the engine will be crazy rich at normal street riding speeds, and this IS a cruiser bike, NOT A TRACK BIKE. If you jet the carbs for the proper A/F mixture at 60mph, then the ram will force too much air in the carbs at 80..90..100 mph and the bike will be running extremely lean - you WILL burn your valves and plugs, and possibly burn holes thru the tops of your pistons, and the bike will still run rich below 60mph... Vstar 650, 1100, Royal Star 1300, Road star bikes... are NOT fuel injected. There are only 2 bikes on the road that have a fuel injection system that self corrects for the air fuel mixture: BMW and HD. If you have a BMW or HD then a ram air intake like this might work ok, but for Vstar carbed bikes you DO NOT WANT A Kuryakin hypercharger ON YOUR BIKE! BTW, you can not dyno a bike with a ram air hypercharger - for it to work correctly you need a blast of air hitting it at the same speed as your back wheel is turning. Sitting stationary on a dyno there will be no air blast ramming air into your carbs.
