    Neither is spelling... although it looks like we might have that in common? Lol

    Re: Question about noise limits at Palmer

    Just realized I posted in the wrong thread like an idiot. D'oh!

    Anyways thanks again for the info everyone, you all convinced me. Maybe I'll see some of you on the 3rd! I ordered a universal insert that I'll bring with me just in case. I did one last WOT test with my phone and it came in around 88.

    I'm on a DRZ so top speed isn't my thing anyway. At NHMS I think I saw 87 as a top speed on my old DRZ, it's the corners I'm interested in

    I'll be there on the 3rd.

    Tall, handsome fellow with the black and red triumph street triple. I'll probably be next to an equally handsome, shorter bald Persian man with a goatee.

    Come say "hi". Just do it from 6 feet.

    The inserts work OK to drop the dB a little. It won't make it as quiet as a stock street exhaust but it will make a difference. To be on the safe side at Palmer or Tamworth I just limit the revs through the section they are measuring. I doubt you'll have a problem. As the others have said the track is a blast either way they run it. Have fun.

    That's my plan. If it's true that they're measuring on the straight section, then I have no problem either short shifting or just not winding it out. I have nothing to prove as far as top end speed on this bike.

    When I was there, they were measuring after turn 5. Pretty sure that's the corner. Its a right and then a left all up hill, so kind of hard to not be on the throttle. Especially on a small hp bike.

    You seriously shouldn't even worry about it though. Just ride normal. If your bike is too loud, they'll let you know and then you can address it.

    I'm sure your bike is quieter than mine. I was also riding in the advanced group ringing my bike out, so not sure what your pace is.

    If I was willing to dog it through that one spot, they probably wouldn't have said anything to me. You should go. That track is very fun. Especially on a motard. The straight was a little long for it, but everywhere else is fine. The downhill, sweeping left in the back section is crazy fun on a motard too. You can carry so much speed.

    Sam-you werent dogging it through that section, that was your flat-out pace. (FIRST POST IN YEARS FOR THIS GUY)

    Asbestos? And it also makes a great mask.

    My end cap/spark arrest/db killer just arrived. It's modular and can be run in different configurations. It's heavy, but looks like it will make a real difference. Hope the bike runs ok.

    Got mine in as well. Tried it out yesterday, makes the bike sound stock.

    Dang. Mine is installed. It's still pretty loud, but i think it barks a little less. I'll know more after a ride.

    Those tires are going to be crazy noisy on the pavement.

    And they break loose easy...

    Ok. Ride done. It has quieted the bike a fair amount. And it runs better. It's a keeper.
