Hey,
My M4 is not legal in my province. After about being forwarded on five times with phone calls as no one knew my answer, someone responded! I wanted to know the dB limit in Saskatchewan. The officer said the limit is 84 dB on cars and 85 dB bikes, around there. A vaccuum is 90 dB... and an old ladies Saturn, is 83 dB... Most M4's are around 92 - 98 dB and can get up to 100 - 102 dB if your in high rpm. If I don't ride like an ass, they won't stop me and I should be fine. Mitch

It is a bung, not a baffle. The can is a blue flame evo. It has a twin out let, when it is legal it has the baffle in the top outlet and a bung in the bottom.
All i want to do is take the bottom bung out. Is this still illegal as i am not removing a baffle??? SPeeeeDY |

thanks for that Muttley, a fine or rectification order is no problem, but points on my licence is a VERY BIG deal (can only get 6 in first 2 years)
So aslong as i can't get any points the bung will be staying out Cheers SPeeeeDY p.s I took the bung out a few hours ago and let the bike tick over..WoW, i cant wait to give it some stick to hear what it realy sounds like!!! |

Mine was "Not for road use" originally, but quiet enough to MOT under the new rules, despite having no packing in. But at the moment I'm shortening it and putting a wider inner pipe into it, so that may change I suspect I'll be in the market for a db killer soon...
