my baffles eject themselves while I was riding,

SV1000 with scorpion cans is loud

Anyway, its not my fault if car alarms are too sensitive

I normally ride with the baffles in, but may be having a problem with the exhaust at the moment, so it sounds really rough

Sound good to start with but soon get tiresome after a while. Everyone I know that has taken them out only uses the bike as either a toy or for short distances.

With finga on this one.

I had the baffles out for about 2months.
Then realised they were too annoying, so popped em back in.


took em back out for my weekend blast around the Lakes though :p

Agreed,

Had mine out for a while, and then realised i was riding better with them in because i could take it to the redline without making such a racket, most of the time, i like to blend in with traffic not stick out like a sore thumb.

I also think on my zx6r it sounds better with them in anyway cause the induction sounds so awesome!

Straight through is the only way. I've ridden my bike for hours and hours at a time, and didn't find it annoyed me too much, because I don't 'hoon' for extended periods.

[Villers]

Mines dual exit so I found having 'one in-one out' was a nice compromise. Plus being a v-twin the high revs arent that much of a problem!!

In or out (if they are removable, I dont know myself)

Cheers

stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

I had a scorpion on my old GSXF, could only stand around 40 mins riding with the baffle out but all day with it in

Scorpion stated that the bike wouldn't need re-jetting with the exhaust on but with the baffle removed the back-fires through the exhaust on the overrun was terrible, so back in it went.

May change my mind when I fit the new Quill to my 7R

[Nb]

I took mine out and posted it to someone in america who wanted it because they cant buy them there apparently.

I got a new high level Remus exhaust for my SV today.

Looks good but will need abit more coaxing if its going to fit properly, taking the existing can off exposed a large dent in the downpipes just at the rear end, not happy about that, but happy about how it sounds with no exhaust at all.

My BOS exhaust came with a leaflet explaining how to take the baffle out which also said that there would be a reduction in HP if you did.

Exhausts without baffles just makes me think of chavs in 1L corsas, loud but nothing under the bonnet.

[JAMSXR]

My Baffle on my akrapovic for my zx6r is only about 5" long. leave it out, ride every day. The louder i am the more visible i am, do alot of filtering people are alot more awere of me and its not to loud as long as i dont go above 7000rpm.

Hi

The Bandit has an Akrapovic full system with a removeable baffle, but the baffle stays in most of the time. Difference in power is tiny (same day, standard carbs but jetted for the baffle out, 144hp and 137hp), and would prefer to do without the extra noise.

All the best

Being a noob to the mechanical side of biking (definately learning the hard way )

Is there any diagrams explaining where he baffle is and how to take it out? I have a Beowulf can on the Zed but don't know if the baffle is removed. Please make it idiot proof
