You never get the hairs stand up on the back of your neck when a super bike flys past?!
I love that!

Yes, I like most mechanical noises - bikes, cars, planes, I totally get it. I'm not objecting to loud noises.You never get the hairs stand up on the back of your neck when a super bike flys past?!

My MT03 used to pop and fart on the over run, that was quite amusing.it's not the noise i love in my Termi, it's the way it sounds and shoots while coming down of revs at the crosslights
that's so brilliant
I remember that stuff too - I'd say you can't really do that with injected engines anymore...My MT03 used to pop and fart on the over run, that was quite amusing.
There's a stupid thing you can do on a bike, where you shut the throttle, leave it coasting in gear, hit the kill switch but leave the engine turning over, then after a second or two, switch it back on, and it will backfire.
I used to despatch ride in London. Sometimes I'd do this while going round Trafalgar Square. The pigeons would fly 10 feet into the air, shit on the tourists then land again. Mature, I know . . .
Wouldn't guarantee a modern fuel injected bike will do it though. This would have been on my trusty carbed Z750.
Right.No there's no point mapping a bike for the baffle out then putting it back in because it won't perform the same
I think there is legislation on DB levels, and some of it is EU-wide, so the same probably applies here. The problem is enforcement.In Portugal as a general rule, anything you change that deviates from what was done during the approval process of the bike for the market is illegal.
Example, changing the turn signals is allowed if you change to something that is approved (needs a CE mark on them I think) and if you maintain the distance between them.
Changing the exhaust is allowed if the new one is approved for the bike and you need a letter stating that, the SC-Project with the baffler in is approved, take the baffler out and it isn't.
Not only this, but on the right and side of the bike between the frame and the front fork you have a sticker, there you have two values, if I'm not mistaken is 93db at 4200rpm.
The law is usually pretty precise - as far as I know, there is no specific legal distinction between a road and a track pipe, the legislation that I mentioned would work something like as follows;Surely with the baffle out it isn't road legal, I thought with the baffle out they are track pipes?
