View Full Version : Lost exhaust baffle problem
Hi all. Just bought a SV650 SK5 and this is my first post. Was riding home from work today and the baffle from my Laser Duotech Titanium exhaust just fell out. :( Tried to search for it by going back, but could not locate it. Now my bike is very loud, and without the baffle it is not road legal. Tried to google for the baffle, unable to find one, as most are straight and mine's was a curved one. Any help regarding where exactly to get something to rectify the problem. Thanks to all in advance.
laser send them an email or phone them to see if they'll sell you one seperately they ought too.

I've had to fit a universal baffle to mine after an encounter with the plod. Tried your local shop? If not have a search on the net for a 'db killer' or universal baffle (same product). See if you can find one that fits.

Or just go without it.
It's weighing up weather it's worth it or not, fines or not being heard.
It's so hard to filter when baffled.

is it points or not if it aint i'd pay the fine if it's points i'd get a new baffle :)

If you stay away from all the clichéd biker+plod hotspots you're perfectly safe.
My unbaffled eight inch ART race can on my ZX7 was chuffin' loud but never got me into any trouble ;)

Well to get another baffle, ring laser up and they'll send you another one. Tell them the model of your exhaust and they should be able to hook you up.
Besides, if the noise is worrying to you, don't be overly scared. Mine's chuffing loud and if I stick it in 4th at like 30mph it's no more noisy than any other lorry or chav with 2 inch halfords exhaust.
If I see a cop coming I just pull in the clutch and let it idle as I cruise on past.. Most coppers don't know one end of a bike from another... If a bike bobby pulls you up for it, just say sorry and be respect and nice... I've heard of coppers telling bikers to take the baffles out!!!
Depends on the cop you get, but more likely than not you'll just get one of those things where you have to take it to the copshop within 7 days and show them you fitted the baffle.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. I got tugged last month for my number plate. BIB knew all the laws on number plates, but said nothing about my stubbied, baffleless, NFRU exhaust. He only gave me a verbal for the plate, so not all the coppers out there are bad.

WOLF do one that sits in the exhaust pipe just before the can,they're OK
I prefer to have mine out, it runs better but its very loud. I never really had issue with the SV but with this one, im always conscious that ill get tugged for it.

Leave it out.

That's the plan
Maybe should have stuck to it the other week aye?

What's the point of that? They'll probably make it run even worse than a normal baffle, and will be a right PITA to remove.

Take your can off and give it a shake, it might have fallen inside.

Haha yes, mine did that and I had to unclamp it and shake it out. xD
It's rare they ever 'fall' outwards though.. even without clamps..
Hi, Thanks to you all for the help. I shall try to contact Laser tomorrow and no, it hasn't fallen inside. Good weather today, so was out but very careful near the police areas.

If you're worried, I pulled up next to a Police transit coming onto the motorway and filtered through to his left, and sat there for a few minutes at the lights. Pulled away and they didn't even look twice. Just revel in the sound while you can mate. :D
As long as you are riding through town like a loon, they tend to turn a blind eye..
Just leave it out, and enjoy it :)

Hi all. Mike2165 has agreed to send me a dbkiller. So hopefully that should help sort the problem out. Thanks once again to everybody for their help.:D
