Noisy without a silencer!

Post by oldgreyandslow »

I have just discovered what my bike sounds like without a silencer fitted! Not intentionally I might add.

I put a cut rear on and slip on can, which did indeed slip on. All good I thought, sounded quite nice too. Just went out to fill up with juice, pulling into the filling station and I suddenly heard a seriously loud engine note, I thought someone had pulled alongside me on something quite a bit larger than my 400, but nope the noise was all mine! The can had slipped off and was hanging by the strap only.

So one new clamp later all's well again.

I imagine the noise is a bit like it may well sound with something like a maggot

I remember something similar happening to me once. I fitted a Chinese MotoGP style megaphone to a ZX10R. Tightened up the bolt and it felt solid. Went for a spin, all fine and a nice meaty sound. Took it for a dyno run :oops:

The chap started giving it some welly on the rolling road and suddenly the exhaust hose bucked and ripped. Out flew the megaphone :oops:
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
