Hey gang. Quick question.
Im thinking of getting a yoshimura style... or the yoshimura carbon fiber exhause for my wifes baccio bro 150cc. Just cauee the other muffler is starting to rust and i dont feel like coating it and dealing with that. Plus it just is calling to me to get it.
My only issue is. I cant find anywhere on the internet that says that you could put that exhaust on that scooter .. they make the exhaust for the yamaha zuma 125s.... and this bro baccio is a replica of the yamaha... so im wondering if it would fit on ky scoot???
Just curious

Just saw this... It most likely is feasible to use this exhaust, but when replacing ANY exhaust on these scooters, you can count on having to make some mods to bolt them on. Seldom (if ever) will any exhaust bolt onto a scooter without mods being made.
I'd attempt to see pix of the exhaust you like, mounted on a bike and see if the mounting brackets are anywhere near yours. Sometimes, it they are totally different, it's actually easier to make up mounting adapters from aluminum bar-stock, or steel strap, than when the mounts are similar, but "not quite" right.
It's likely you could adapt the exhaust to your scooter with simple hand-tools and some creativity... Worst case, maybe a few bucks spent at a welding shop.
Good luck with it, and please do post pix for us!

The Yamaha uses a proprietary engine, the Baccio a GY6. I would take some serious measurements before I would dive into adapting a Yamaha pipe to a Baccio. People make exhaust systems for the GY6. I would contact Matt at Parts for Scooters ( www.partsforscooters.com ) just to start. He might know a better option.

Here we go guys. I did my research and actually went to a yamaha dealer that sells off parts as well down in west miami dade.
I had the nicest most can do attitude guys going all in on my wifes scoot.... they just did not want to believe that a replica could not fit a yamaha exhaust.... but, after much fiddling... taking off my current exhaust and trying to fit the zuma after market on... it would have to be a weld custom from the exhaust to the engine if i really REALLY wanted that one. But they also said that if i did custom one... i might mess up the flow of the carburetor because of the output from that exhaust. So they suggested that i just buy a GY6 yoshimura replica. I installed it myself, got it from modcycles ( great store in dade with a bunch of motorcycle and scooter junkies, but not the best website, they said they are working on it)
Dished out 125$ for the exhaust and pipe. Not bad, they offered to install it for that and the cost of labor.. but i did it myself for the learning experience
Sounds great, low rumble. Not too obnoxious... but it is certainly better and louder than the stock one that came with it.
Ill post a pic as soon as it uploads on my slow wifi lol

When you experiment with rollers, it's not uncommon to find no one weight works best, and you may have to mix them. On my first 150, I found 11-gram rollers were way too light, giving strong low-end, but a top-speed of only 45-mph at over 9,000 rpm... And 12-gram rollers gave an excellent top-end of 65-mph but NO low-end or climbing power at all. A staggered mix of three 11 and three 12-gram rollers was perfect. Good acceleration and climbing, with a top-speed of 62-mph, at 8,000 rpm. When you do get to the weights, I would recommend trying sliders instead of rollers. I've heard nothing but good about them.
