What happens if I ride with my baffle out?

[AAABBBCCC]

And I get pulled over? Lets say the bike exceeds noise limits, am I getting a warning and I can go home and put in my baffle or is my bike getting impounded because essentially at that point it's not street legal? I am currently riding with my baffle in, but my inline 4 sounds so much nicer to my own ear without the baffle

Leave the baffle under the seat with the appropriate tools to fit it at the road side if required.

I'm not sure what the penalty is probably a lecture on safety and possibly a fixed penalty if he/she is in an oppressive mood which they would have to be in the first place for pulling you.

What should happen is a rectification notice with or without a fixed penalty.

What will probably happen is a section 59 order (or ASBO if you're in Scotland) despite there having to be a componant of causing fear, alarm or distress. Then next time you're caught doing anything the police don't like (such as being in posession of a face they don't like the look of), they'll seize your bike.

I have a full on unbaffled "Not for road use" race system fitted to the Fazer.

Never been pulled over yet. Even with loud pipes four pots are reasonably civilised at low revs, just don't be an idiot around the police and don't be a cunt to your neighbours.

I've gone so far as explicitly asking my neighbours if my bike noise bothers them, given I leave for work at around 6:15am. I'm more worried in the summer when people have their windows open.

Baffle only goes in for MOT. Its not for everyday use
