Ideas for beating noise meter
- Thread starter inreb
- Start date
A very real pro quiet pipe groundswell seems to be developing. Online.
Well thats the point of the noise laws. i think changing to a quitter setup is the best solution if you are worried.
If you have an aftermarket tach, you could flip the switch to another arrangement of cylinders to increase indicated engine rpm (ie. idle is 1000 rpm, tach would show 2000).
Personally, although I appreciate the sound of some bikes, I think it's a dbag move to put loud pipes on a street bike.

As someone who spends a lot of time sitting around and listening to stuff go by I agree. Unfortunately passion plays a minor role in my existence so am left with no choice but ride a bike with low rumble. I think I'm ok meter wise but not sure. But most assuredly I'm not at d*******g level.
If that's true then you've already beat the noise meters. The standard is very, very low (ie allows very noisy bikes).
During idle chatter (no pun intended) I mentioned my "plan" to yesterdays riding partner to underwhelming enthusiasm. The "plan" involves a hidden kill switch. You disable the bike as you engage in pretest formalities. When prompted to start bike for test.....oops, somethings amiss, bike won't start! Dafuq?! Sincerest apologies for wasted efforts! So on and so forth.
They could probably issue (forgive me if I use the wrong terms here) a mechanical summons. This can be done for equipment issues where you have to present the vehicle for inspection within a certain period of time. Sounds like a lot more work to have your bike towed (it's broken remember, how could you ride away) and then taking it to a testing location than just passing a road side test.
Disabling half the ignition system may get you 3 dB if you can keep the bike running.
I think that's what my riding partner said but I wasn't really listening.
After finding out your age in another thread, couldn't you just try and say that the batteries in your hearing aids died, and you couldn't hear how loud your exhaust was?? ???
What? I knew my age even before that thread. Did you redo your driveway?
I'm old and confused, I thought somebody said you re tard it.
some fertilize and a bit of diesel in a small tank under the seat, remote garage door switch, you back away from the bike saying something about it being loud before, watch this ****........

This is the SAE test procedure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KdYUhH3JSo
The Caledonia bylaw was written for that test.
Do you still think you can beat it?
You quoted me, posted a video and asked an unrelated question. Checkmate?

Can I get this straight please? You say that you don't know the procedure, I link to a video OF the procedure, and ask only if your unshared idea will beat the test, and you're treating me like i'm the one with comprehension difficulties?
Would that be a correct summation?

When I was tested at the FOC last year I was pulled over by the OPP and was escorted into the community centre parking lot and was checked by the DOT. The officer was present but at no time was my actual RPM checked as I don't have a gage. This maybe something new, but last year neither one had a portable tach to determine.
Yeah, we'll just wait here until you get it started, or your tow truck arrives.
