Noise, yes. Its not their fault.

Leathers, not so sure. I think you will get away with full textiles, but check. If you turn up in shorts, t-shirt, flip-flops, and an open face helmet you wont get on the track and I doubt the Police will allow you out with them and you must be assessed by them before the track session.

i did castle combe last year with zip together textiles

I've booked the bikesafe - not fussed about the trackday for now

Will either baffle the JCE or refit the stock exhaust, 107dB according to JC, all I know is it's not subtle and there's plenty of guys who've missed trackdays even with the baffle...

While not full proof, those of you with an Android phone can download a dB noise tester from PlayStore to check your bikes beforehand. While not 100% accurate, it will give you a good indication if you're likely to get a pass for the circuit. I was up at the sprint there this weekend and tried it on a competitors car - phone said 95 and actual reading from scrutineers came out at 98

I will look to book once I know my brakes are working properly. I'm thinking just the assessment rather than the track day too

Not many phones have a microphone capable of 105db. Mine tops out at 95. Unless my bike is the same noise level at idle and at 7k.

Yeah I plan to get the bike tested in advance. I've also been given a little tip of how to quiet it down if needed. But that wont work for a SV650...

we have just ordered a db checker of ebay, just waiting for it to arrive, only £15 so worth it to save a wasted trip if your not sure

Arsebiscuits. I've got my dates wrong. Thought this was on the 19th. Thanks to The Lone Wolf for the heads up.

My problem is the TZR has its MOT in the morning and the plan was to do this on that. So do I risk it on the TZR fresh MOT and no shakedown ride with no advance noise test, or take the TZR for its MOT and then take the SV down on a standard exhaust?

Bit of a request. Simon will be there for TBE displaying his adapted bike but has no helpers, he's not riding but will need help getting the bike off the trailer pluss getting on and off.
