I have had Delkevic s/s silencers fitted to my ST11 for a few years.
They look and sound great, especially if I remove the 'optional' baffle

What did you go to for jet sizes?I went with oversize pilot and main jets, and a nice set of adjustable tapered needles.
Works good, mileage good, power excellent, no popping.
Not rocket science. Not for everyone.
Running stock filter housing with KN drop in air filter and 14 inch slash cut round Delkevic cans with baffles installed.
It's real nice to have military wartime throttle available.....
Before you change jets, I would try opening the pilot screws a quarter turn each and see if the condition prevails. (Popping)What did you go to for jet sizes?
I have not even ventured under the pretty red skin yet ....... can the pilot screws be accessed without pulling the carbs?Before you change jets, I would try opening the pilot screws a quarter turn each and see if the condition prevails. (Popping)
I will be pulling my carbs soon for inspection and can tell you what jets are installed.
PM me if you have further questions.
There may be a possibility that you could repack them with a better glass packing...... do you know that yours have the dB killers installed?Fitted the Delkevic exhaust to my ST1100 about six months ago as a replacement to the stock exhaust due to the stock collector box being rotten. Personally I don't like the Delkevic silencers as they are loud when riding slow through town etc, for me they spoil the ST1100. Wish there was something more in the same line as the stock exhaust which could be fitted.

Sure, if you have the special tool. It's a royal PITA. Someone might loan you the tool. The static adjustment of the pilot screws worked just fine for me. I simply loosened the clamps, popped the carbs loose, made the adjustment, popped the carbs back on. Got them where I wanted in short order. Started at 2.75 turns and only closed them after initial setup a quarter turn. Been running them 3 years without further adjustment.I have not even ventured under the pretty red skin yet ....... can the pilot screws be accessed without pulling the carbs?
And Thank You very much !
What rpm do you ride in town?

Absolutly BEAUTIFUL!
Can the stock silencers still be used with the Delkevic exhaust pipes?Fitted the Delkevic exhaust to my ST1100 about six months ago as a replacement to the stock exhaust due to the stock collector box being rotten.

Good question, especially for those with a deteriorating collector box. Will they even sell the front half without the cans?Can the stock silencers still be used with the Delkevic exhaust pipes?
John - They list the pipes without cans on their website. I just can't tell if the stock ones would fit on their headers.Good question, especially for those with a deteriorating collector box. Will they even sell the front half without the cans?

My guess is they would, based on the picture and their example of their VFR pipes and OEM cans.John - They list the pipes without cans on their website. I just can't tell if the stock ones would fit on their headers....
You might be lucky and drop on some secondhand Motads. They are advertised on ebay fairly regularly. They're not as quiet as standard but near enough.Fitted the Delkevic exhaust to my ST1100 about six months ago as a replacement to the stock exhaust due to the stock collector box being rotten.
