Ok I got pulled over by the cops the other night and got a neg riding. The fucker was threatening me with an exhaust fine too. Anyway I went to the local bike shop and got a "can kit". I now own a blank "stationary noise test information" sticker. Well I wen tto my original can to get the info to copy over but there was nothin on it.
So what do I get engraved on this thing? Does anyone have a real one?
The empty Fields are
M/C: MFR/MODEL _________ Which is obviously Yamaha R6
EXHAUST: MFR/ID ________ " Megacycle ????? ( street )
TESTED: ______ dB(A) AT ______ RPM so whats the legal info for these?

Hey dude, isnt your exhaust stock? If its stock you dont need no sticker.. so i heard. might have to ring the RTA. Ill find out what numbers and info you need for the sticker dude and let you know soon.. freakin coppers! why they get u for negligent driving??

They got me for neglient driving cause i crashed in the Royal National Park (Stanwell Tops) and got knocked out... so since I cant remember what happen and there is no witnesses.. I get neglient driving.. farkin piss me i wish i fought it in court.

The maximum legal noise limit is 94db.. & the RPM is some complicated formula they use.. check the ADR in mccofnsw.org.

The Tested figure is 94 or 93 dB, the RPM is the same as what is on the factory sticker.

I crossed cleavland St in the city on one wheel. Didn't mean it was just taking off fast but once it was up i though what the hell. I also put my first bike down in the National park. I talked to a copper mate of mine and he said use the little black dog story. Well a rabbit in my case. Apparently its the excuse all the cops who crash use. They can't book you if i wasn't your fault. Not riding to the road conditions is your fault but little furrry animals aren't. I don't have the stock can on it. I got a megacycle can.

Here's the link to megacycle engineering hopefully they can answer your questions. They're a Victorian company so maybe they haven't heard too much about this bullshit. Then again I live in Vic and have heard heaps about it.

Man i've been pulled over three times and i've got an undertail wolf exhaust it's gotta at least be over 110db and they haven't said shit actually most of the time they check the bike out.

I just don't get exhaust fines. Harleys can have a loud as fuck can but when it comes to sport bikes they r meant to be quite? Fuck that.

Yeah there are good n bad cops. I've had a few just check out the bike. Usually when its just an rbt. When they pull you for wheelies or speeding they are usually dickheads. Livin n riding in Sydney your bound to get pulled over by a fuckhead cop. Specially when they are the Highway Patrol.
Anyway the dB and rmp is 94dB @ 6500.
