Don't bother Jordan, I rode around with the same Art can on for ages, never had a problem

Just a quick question. Same topic, slight tangent. I have a Scorpion can with a removable baffle, which has err.. fallen out. If I get pulled and get a rectification notice, can I just stick the baffle in? It is then road legal and E stamped.

Do tell your insurance though, or it will invalidate it.

I'm still waiting for the scorpion I ordered at the NEC, then I'll call the insurance & see what they reckon.

Yeah, erm, my insurance company wouldnt take to kindly to me telling them I've got a race exhaust. Since I've only got TPF&T, what would 'invalidated insurance' actualy mean anyway? Since they thirds party cover would be honoured should I be in an own fault accident anyway...

It could mean they'll sue you for their costs.
It all depends how annoyed they are about you not telling them.

Hmm. Perhaps I should leave it untill I renew my insurance with a less anal insurance company.

so if ive changed the can to a scorpion with removable baffle which also seems to have fallen out... I have to tell my insurance co?

never knew that... just assumed that its the same bike so no worries on that score.. so do I have to tell them EVERY time I change something? ie top box... what if I put the fairy lights on the bike for xmas????

Definitely. Especially if it improves performance.
On that note, anyone looked at the scorpion site? They claim an extra 6bhp on the SVS. Surely not!

Either way, I told mine about the undertray just to be damn sure.
