Hi folks, I have an FE650 that I can hardly use because it is no noisy. I don't worry about it myself but neighbors would call the police.... Last time I took it through town I got the police on my tail... Over here you are not allowed to ride in the woods or the outback so making a lot of noise is not a good idea.
So it is a FE650, it has the original muffler with all the choke stuff in the exit removed. The "choke stuff" was out there to reduce the HP upont import to about 13 hp for tax reasons... So now you can see right through it. All the padding (the fluffy stuff) is intact so nothing more to gain by working on new padding. But is is very loud. You can her me coming miles away.
On tracks I see lots of other guys riding powerful 4-stroke bikes that are real quite, even on racing bikes. So there gotta be something out there that can be used. New muffler I guess. Bigger maybe? WHat to get, where to source?
Good hints and recommendations appreciated.
