Just a quick question.......Do you ride with your baffles in or out. :rollin

[red98]

depends on what iam doing.....last blast with the london foccers the baffle was out,if going to work the baffles in,early start so dont want to upset the neighbours  .....i do think with it out it sometimes draws a bit of unwanted attention from the boys in blue    but on the other hand those pesky cagers know when iam about 

[noggythenog]

Out


Coz it sounds mint 8)

Ride with my baffle out as well - I typically don't use it an unsociable hours so its not a real problem

I`ll ask my Lady.... :lol

Interesting article here (http://www.thumpertalk.com/topic/966694-...__10105161).  I don't know how relevant it is to a Fazer but I'd imagine it to be true.  To paraphrase the article at low revs removing the baffle could be disadvantageous but it's always better at wide open throttle.

in....cos I havent really looked at how to get them out

Interesting article indeed - I'd never really bothered to consider the change in performance characteristics when removing the baffle. I remove it for the noise  :evil

[snapper]

Baffles ? what are they then  :lol

[red98]

lets all be honest here....we remove the baffle for the noise  .....i do think my thou runs a lot smoother with the standard exhaust,with the scorpion can on its smoother with the baffle in especially on idle......being an old foccer i think i perfer a smooth quiet ride......ooooooer this should be in the naughty section  :lol

[simonm]

Baffles in on the road and out on the track would seem to be the standard and best course of action for me.  Best to give the coppers no more reason to do you and I think a 0-60 time of 3.6s (and filtrage) is a lot more impressive than the noise of a phat boy Peugeot/whatever and/or a Harley.

It'd take more than a muffler for that  :lol

[Enceladus]

out for me.
prefer the noise 

[gassitt]

Out ,
due to it firing out of the can whilst bouncing it off the limiter for the benefit of the roadside crowds coming back from Le Mans Motogp last year  :evil

[Yellowwolf]

Out. Much sexier

[stevierst]

My 600 doesn't have one and is quiet enough, but the thou HAS to have one. Mivv short can I have fitted is loud enough with the baffles in, especially when I set off for work at ten past 5 in the morning! 

Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!

[Looney tune]

Without for me, feck the neighbours, oh, I don't have any  :woot

[baggy]

Mine sounds better with the baffle out but I have old neighbours that like to complain about anything and everything so because I use it for work baffle in

[alexanderfitu]

Baffle in most of the time, but out for the ride out

[caretaker]

used to take baffles out, then i grew up :lol

I have said this before, I think it is a stupid idea to run with the baffles out. I like to ride nice interesting roads which have lots of villages like the road from Market Harborough to Melton Mowbrey it is a popular route and when ever the sun comes out it is heavily used by motor bikes they don t speed through the villages, but with the baffles out they sound faster to the residents and also they are noticed even by people watching their tv. or in their rear garden  trying to enjoy a quiet time. So the more your noticed the more people will be anti and looking for ways to stop you. So to just pass through only noticed by those using the road means no body is gunning to stop motorcycle traffic.
