looking at getting some slp triples for an 04 mtn viper. Was wondering if i can run triple pipes safely without a different head. have heard about overheating withstock head. do the pipes make that big of difference? any info would be appreciated
viper triple pipes
- Thread starter sledr3405
- Start date
i have the slp pipes on my viper and it s a good mod. my head is stock and havent seen any over heating but viper are know for that stock. u could just put the bender head gasket in and put the srx rear cooler in that will help alot. i am right in the middle of a rebuild had a bearing go out. and i am putting the bender gasket in. u can get more info on tottallyamaha. info on there is very good

or you can run the hauck powersports head gasket for added cooling too.
If I was to do it again I would go SLP pipes
Bender opitcool head gasket
use rear tunnel cooler (which I think you have)
peak head with changeable domes

if you have stock rear suspension build trandfer enhancement kit (must have)

speedwerx head works fine too, as well as megapower heads and stock srx heads. also, on a piped viper, run a srx base gasket, as it will help give more equal cooling.
I also ran tthe SRX base gasket and if you pull the jugs you are foolish not to go that route
I most likely have a list of set up if wanted

I ran mine (SLPs) with the stock head and gasket for years without issues. I did add a rear cooler though, it makes a big difference keeping it cool.
I recommend running the mag cylinder one main jet size richer and 1/2 position richer on the needle compared to the PTO/Center cylinders. Its the leaner one on a SLP piped Viper.
Run good fuel, only premium without ethenol perfered.

thanks for all the info guys. I rode last weekend with a guy that had a viper piped and modded a bit and it kept up with all the new 800's. He told me that its as reliable as stock and twice as powerful. Was looking into a rev 800 but cant see myself on something other that a yamaha either. Yamaha reliability, cant beat it
