Hello,
My names is Alex from Paisley, Scotland and I have been riding for just under a month.
Got myself this beauty and I absolutely love it! Sadly needs a new ‘Throttle map’ thankfully its brand new so all under warranty with 400 miles.
Looking forward to chatting with you all.
First mod question, does changing the rear silencer effect the warranty and or, would it cause any issues with exhaust or with engine management system?
Cheers, Alex!

Welcome , what a beauty that GV125S is!
I wholeheartedly understand the need to change the exhaust, it is the one thing i don’t like about it myself (looks wise) the chrome cannons of the older GV’s were heavy as hell but they looked nice enough and appropriate to the bike’s style (factory wise, cause not every one likes OEM looks haha)
But changing the exhaust on any EFi bike = ECU will tolerate it or it will make sure the bike runs rough until the factory exhaust is put back on. Honestly from experience with carb era GV125 specifically (not including 250s or 650s) , this is strictly GV125 Carby , a modded exhaust will either;
– Force rider to upjet the bike because more fuel is needed as bike is sending more gasses out of the pipe.
– Bike is slower. (due to using crap china ebay cans) (or even the silly slash cuts)
I am digressing… this could be separate topic for you to make in the technical zone of this forum in regards to aftermarket cans and what not. First, let’s see what the dealer does about the warranty workYou should also discuss with them about changing cans, if the say it voids it (likely will, as it’s now “uncharted” teritorry for them to see if the ECU complains or is okay with it, trail and error will be involved etc but as more gas leaves the bike , the engine leans out (leaning out isn’t good) , the injectors “have” a margin of extra bit of fuel can squirt or not (if Korea put injectors that are already at full capacity for a 125cc instead of running 650cc injectors and letting ECU control how much fuel to squirt)
Digressing! Forgive me.
I suppose if the exhaust can you want is
– same size (length and width)
– same size outlet (baffle hole is same size!)Then you may actually get away it but discuss with dealer 1st if you wish to keep the warranty. Things like spark plugs, chains, brake pads are “probably” not a warranty thing so rider is welcome to replace those things but ideally should allow a garage to do it so it goes on the records to the dealer or garage itself incase of any service updates for the bike (like oil change time) or warranty fixes (hope not)
