    That baffle seems to have the baffle missing.

    Haha. I told the guy from Scorpion Technical that I felt like someone had lifted £39 from my wallet and given me an off cut of pipe for my trouble!

    Out - unless I'm doing early morning ride outsduring the summer months. Can't say I've ever seen any difference in fuel consumption

    I leave the baffle out of my akra megaphone all the time now and
    yesterday I opened it up coming home on a bypass where it echos and screams wonderfully on bits of it...:)

    Got home and there's a text message from a biker mate who I'd apparently passed in his car...

    Was that you on the ####### at 3.20 you noisy bugger...heard you before I saw you!

    I melted into a little warm glowing bundle of self satisfaction....and the grin eventually wore off a few hours later :D

    You don't get that with all this future electric bike malarkey....:rolleyes:

    In my old age I'm actually enjoying the standard can and being able to enjoy the ride without earplugs.

    My previous Yoshi I always had the baffle out, though I ride very conservatively in my neighbourhood I always got the blame for any noisy cans south of Watford.

    I do enjoy the OEM 'Sonic Boom' at 4k though!

    I could get the Leo vince on the old bike to pop & flame sometimes like crazy when I took the baffle out of it & that made me laugh every time :D
    Can't get this one to pop though!?!
    is that because the remap has smoothed everything out and the fuelling?!?

    I am fortunate to have not been barrelled by a neighbour. Seem fairly good and tolerant around me. Only have a couple of 'loudish' bikes, but it's great fun smoking out the street when I start the NS400R:D:D.

    Neighbours, I remember them :D

    Wife used to be able to hear me coming home on the blade from a mile away, could tell it was me when I used to manually blip down the gears entering the nearby village. Oh the sweet sound if the Akra.

    I am missing my VTR for this reason.
    I had low lever two brothers on it and used to light the road up with the flames that came out of it:):):)

    My Yoshi GP Force came without the baffle - was pretty loud, definitely too loud to pass noise regs at a track day. Finally tracked down the correct baffle, from here: https://ixtem-moto.com/Db-Killer-Yo...a-CBR1000RR-04-05-(138-138-5715)_p115463.html

    It turned up, I wrapped it in wadding, fitted it. Bike much quieter, but I reckon still too loud at 5500rpm to pass noise regs. We'll find out when I make it to the first track day of the year in a few weeks.

    For road riding though I'm caught in two minds. For London riding the more noise generally the better - people always stepping out from behind buses, cars changing lanes impulsively. Anything you can do to improve your visibility or audibility the better. But equally I don't like being one of those antisocial dicks... Tough call!
