Exhaust setup and tune questions

[HansO]

Well I was keeping that quiet for a bit while I work out what I'm going to do. But yes, I'm fortunate (and extremely grateful - not to mention honoured) to have that prototype. I don't recall Cobba (RIP) discussing the noise so it will be interesting to see.

For those who don't know what we're talking about, look here:

The one pictured in that thread apparently stayed with the bike when the insurance co. took it but the prototype was pretty similar if not as refined. I'll be sure to keep people updated.

sorry about that Richard didn't know you were hush hush with it for now

No worries; just didn't want to appear like I was gloating. But I have to say I'm real happy to have it.

I'd be prepared to give that intake set-up a go .. if only to avoid replacing all the stock intake plumbing. Got to do something to get rid of that ticking racket .. i used to love the sound of my bike

Ticking? Mine doesn't tick; just sounds like a jet engine when I open up the throttle. Is it possible the noise you have isn't due to the filters at all? Anyway, I'll be trying the intake as soon as I get the necessary mounting rubbers sorted and will let you know. There's a guy who comes into Joe's who saw it the other day and is very interested in having a go at making another. I'll keep you posted where that goes.

Keep us ALL posted on this one Canberra. Looks promising.

Noise arrived the same time as the pods were fitted , pretty sure they are the cause mate. Perhaps 'ticking' ain't the best description. But i woudn't be flying on any jet that was making this noise

Haven't ridden mine with a half helmet yet, so maybe I'm missing it with the full helmet on, but the only new sounds I've heard are music to my ears
I haven't gotten a cricket noise, though I've seen in past threads that many did. But I do get that deep throaty intake gargle and it's at it's strongest between 2-3000 rpm.
If there's an annoying sound and I haven't noticed it yet, not sure I want too...In this case Ignorance really IS bliss!!

We should have swapped bikes at Nabiac to see if there was a difference. If not, maybe it's a noise that only young people can hear.....
