Make Pointy louder! - SV650.org

12-12-06, 02:35 AM

Hello all

I am brand new to this forum but thought I should register because I ordered my new SV today! It's going to be my first bike and I can't wait to get it some time next week. I've gone for the SV Sport in silver.

Anyway... On with my question...

I've already decided to fit a Fuel can to make the bike louder, but I was wondering what else I can do to make more of a racket?

Do air filters make much difference? Only problem with that is that I've no power commander to re-map the fuelling.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Any bike without a baffle in will be loud enough! any louder and it would hurt! If your that bothered - just give it some more revs!

What he said.......

Welcome to the forum. Wait 'til you try the can first. Those "Fuel" things are great and well made too.

Cheers,

Garry

Replacing the snorkel with a sv1000 snorkel and raising the tank creates a lovely induction roar.

A power commander is not essential - Steve Jordan motorcycles can remap the stock ECU if necessary for a fraction of the price of a power commander to smooth out any lumps, however most people don't bother.

If you wanna hear a loud SV I suggest you have a listen to Thor's

He has a full Hindle exhaust system on it and it sounds the dogs dangales.

There's not much point raising the tank if you fit a sv1000 snorkel. And you get more of an induction roar if you just take the snorkel out anyway.

Matt is right though. It's a simple job for a garage to change the ecu maps in the standard suzuki box to match the new fueling mixture. I highly recommend it.

Finally, the loudest can we know of so far is the R6 can. It's not really a can at all. More of a trumpet.

Ooh ta!

Funny, I don't think of mine as loud. But then, I'm always sitting in front of the can exit point.

It was bloody loud when I had no snorkel though.

no, not loud at all. Can you hear all the car alarms you set off over the top of the exhaust? Nope! :P

You haven't heard Stu's yet have you?

Hotter exhaust cams will make the bike louder, as well as making the sound "thicker"...

Me, I'm just wondering why would anyone be actively looking to make an SV louder than it is with a race can. Call me a miserable, spoil sport etc

but I don't just get it

.

Please bear in mind that I actually think the SV doesn't sound that bad on the standard can. Weird huh

Cheers
Ben
