So I'll not be going.

Its worth noting that 3db means double the power (noise) so 6db above is 4 times the noise.

Mines louder than yours \/

Not sure what I'm going to do now, could put the standard one back on, but I know I will feel a difference. Or I could try the twins, or at least one of the twins, but thats going to be no guarantee.

Could get it repacked... na!

Or if I get my ass in gear I could try for project CBR, ah decisions decisions...

I'll ponder a different track methinks.

When I was there the chap was talking about a new ride by test that was under discussion where they were going to 'trial' diferent bikes from the bike makers in the next two months or so, all may not be lost.

If mine fails now I just might remove the baffle and enjoy it

So I gave the guys there a giggle by asking them to test the noise level or my bike...


So with the track limit at 105db I clocked up an impressive 110.06db (I'm quite pleased of the .06!)

Will have to change cans if I want to get on track then

But they were quite friendly and pleased that I had came down for a test and prefer people to do that rather then turn up on the day to be told NO. So I will be making another trip down there sometime with a different can a would recommend you all do the same.

I know they measure the sound at 0.5m but where from? Is it 0.5m behind the exhaust outlet or 0.5m to the side of the exhaust outlet? Tested mine this evening with the Remus Revo and go 111.3 dBA behind the outlet and 103 dBA to the side of the outlet, both readings at 8000rpm. Neighbours are not happy

It was measured to the side and he was kind enough to move the sensor away from the bike before it backfired once the throttle was closed.

So it looks like you should be ok. But please do not take my word for it, get them to test it.

Cheers, needed to find out if I was in the right ball-park before take a ride to the circuit.

as a few peeps have droped out (beenz,viper,teejay,keith) due to sound levels, should the venue be changed?

llandow is £80......... £45 cheaper

Hello south west peeps...

Although I've migrated from Southampton to Norwich my SV and other half still live in Weymouth... I really want to get a track day under my belt when the weathers better so may join you. Gotta get some leave booked first

Sounds like I might need to get mine tested too - the Devil on there at the moments mighty fruity! Would be a shame to put the OE 'thing' back on so hopefully OK with baffle in... Trying to sell the SV (for house fees) but thinking of getting an R6 - another of the banned noisy bikes!! Oh dear!

How far ahead do I need to book as I don;t know about work yet?
