Yoshi RS3 too loud

Fri Jun 07, 2013 9:13 am

Does anybody know of a way to quieten an RS3 oval muffler (full race WITHOUT the bolt holes in the endcap for a silencer insert ) on my ZX9r F1

Just bought the bike 4 days ago and already had 2 discussions with the local cops over noise and I wasn't even thrashing it just legal town riding , no ticket yet but expecting one

They told me I could be ticketed under the new QLD hoon laws for excessive noise ( 3 strikes and the bike gets impounded or worse )

I would go back to stock but the bike did not come with the stock muffler or link pipe ( anyone got one in good condition in the shed they would sell ? )

living in a small town and riding daily makes you kind of stick out

Cheers

mate - the best way is to replace it with a better (quieter) muffler. Unless you can bolt a spud into the rear of the Yoshi - it will always make the noise it does, because it was designed that way.

Someone here is likely to have an OEM muffler and link pipe you can buy - bung up an ad in the Wanted section. There is a shitload of 9 owners on this forum :lol:

I've got an OEM ZX9R E1 titanium muffler in mint condition I'm not using. No link pipe though...
I also have a ZX9R factory workshop manual, new set of F&R pads, OEM chain guard, fuel tap etc that I don't need anymore.

This is just a thought but does it have any silencing material left in it ? I had an fzr1000 that lost all its fibreglass filling( due to putting 2inch piping throw it and it all blow out) :oops: . I refitted it with new silencing material and all was good ..PS its just a thought. :kuda:

It depends on the copper too, I got pined once for a fender eliminator after I attracted attention to my self buy giving my bike a squirt past a cop on a motorbike ( don't ask how I didn't see him) I had a 350mm delkevic carbon pipe no db killer, and all he said was ur bike sounds nice but the fender eliminator is illegal, good luck with the noise control

Open the can up, and check the packing. Wrap a good amount of stainless steel wool around the internals, and then a layer of fibreglass, not too tight.

Would it not be straight foward to drill a hole through the bottom of the cap to then fit a silencer?
