Marthy is the truth!

I like the stock exhaust but cars just keep on merging on me.

maybe you should re-evaluate where you are riding in relation to the other car and trucks on the road. I make it a point to not ride in direct line of site areas while on the road.

Seeing as most people don't even bother to check their mirrors or turn their head, if you can't see their eye balls from where you are then they can't see you and will run you off the road.

Most people on the roads have no common sense so you have to always ride like they have no clue you are there. make yourself visible. While a noticeable exhaust does help when you are right next to other vehicles it does nothing for vehicle ahead of you or behind you. It's only good for those right next to you and a lot of times it's not even good for that.....

While yes exhaust sound does help you don't have to be stupidly loud for it to benefit. Hence why I changed my exhaust to a set of R77 yoshis on my ninja 1000. The urban brawlers were just far too loud....

Or you know, just get a nice exhaust, some visual enhancements, high vis gear, a Stebel Nautilus duel tone air horn, and ride like you're invisible while keeping your head on a swivel.

I'd prefer not to take on the quixotic task of evangelizing the Gospel of How to Drive to the masses, since I don't have the time nor patience required.

If you ever rode in Florida, it's one of those law in the book that got lost. Just like camping in the left lane. Pound over 50K miles within the last 4 years on my 2 bikes (6R: +45K, FZ09: +6K) and I never got bother at all. To be fair honest I don't remember seeing a bike with a stock exhaust around. So many riding clubs around here packed with skids doing 3 time the speed limit on there supercharge Busa and bike like that. I even saw track bike riding around...

There's a difference between louder and loud as F!

From there, it's each for their own. No need to argue about exhaust noise level, what type of tires, oil or oil filter we all use.

This thread is going nowhere and they're absolutely no need to throw knifes to each others.

Peace out, end of the story!

Yes, let's end it before it has to go further

Left lane campers, LOL. Yeah, you are in florida... I love the spontaneous lane changers that never look or even move their eyes.

Also now that you mention it, I can't remember the last time I saw a bike with a stock exhaust down here. Normally the only ones I see with stock exhaust are the ones that just came off the show room floor.

I have never seen a track bike riding around though, that would be a new one for me. The cops over here are pretty hard on headlights on bikes and tiallights as well.

This is the same thing in Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania driver issue. I got hit by a lady who likely didnt even look... Oh and i think Penn does give the LL camper problem a though unlike VA and MD.

And while this thread is off topic... :hijack:

Exactly why my wife wanted me to get an exhaust in the first place.





Part of me really wants to continue arguing, but I won't drop to that level and waste my time. I don't like where this thread has gone.

My apologies to anyone offended in the last few posts. This started as a way to publicly thank Marthy, who we all know has done amazing things for this community mostly on his own time and dime. I also wanted to share my joy of riding and love for this bike, which I believe is why we all came here in the first place. I will not read another word on this thread. If you need me, you know where to find me.

Don't worry about it. I think it was a misunderstanding, and I know what happened. I was intending on going back and cleaning up the thread to remove all of that stuff. It isn't necessary, and really detracts from what is a very good thread.

PA doesn't enforce the LL camper law. NJ on the other hand does. I really wish PA would enforce it. Traffic would move so much smoother. You'll always get the occasional driver that doesn't look before changing lanes. I try not to ride next to a car on the highway except to pass quickly. I've driven in some bad places (Puerto Rico was the worst place for drivers) and have always been defensive though. Cars would intentionally nudge you if you didn't move and no one would let you into traffic. You have to nose out and hope they're paying attention. Once you block traffic you can pull out. My dad wouldn't drive while him and my mom visited me and he hates to be a passenger. He wouldn't drive in Scotland either though. LOL! Best drivers I've ever seen by far. Mandatory driving school to get your license.

After years of driving Class 8 big rigs I understand and instinctively manage the space around me. Blind spots etc. My problem comes from the folks who decide they are in the wrong lane at a light, or intersection and just come on over till I blow the horn.

Lol!! Maryland has a mandatory driving school law. I spent about 15 months on my permit since i didnt have time to go to class, went to class and taught the teacher. My dad is a paramedic and routinely takes EVOC, Emergency Vehicle Operators Course, and taught me how to properly operate a car. I also took a class that police officers give students tips and tricks to handle a car in an emergency. I am not a pro driver but behind a wheel i could say i am above average. Its stupid how i taught the teachers something and they taught me nothing... I learnt more in the MSF class...

In maryland, we do have bad driver, but imagine them texting at the same time... :rant: At stop lights, i have gotten peoples attention to not text. Its ridiculous. I need to get my own exhaust. Likely going with marthy DIY when i can get dah molah.

I took evoc in the Navy. After 9/11 regardless of what your job was you had to be qualified to drive ambulance, auxiliary police, or firefighter. I got sent to Puerto Rico after 9/11 to train people there and when I got back I didn't get a choice, because they had quotas for each. I didn't mind. Had to be fire fighter and first aid car qualified the entire time I was in anyways. Course was fun.

Conrgats to you guys for trying to be good neighbors and not pissing everyone off. Too many people are all about Me now a days.

I am the only person on this forum who likes the quiet "stealth mode" of our bike

I do like how quiet it is. At the same time I want to be noticed on the road too so it could stand to be louder.

Which is the best map for "airbox mod (w/K&N air filter) + stock exhaust", and later next week, "airbox mod (K&N) + TB exhaust"?

I forgot to mention that I have a Juicebox. Your webpage says that the Advgear revB needs a speed sensor. I don't think the JB has a SS.

Thanks for the response! BTW, I appreciate what you have done for the 6R community!

Bought Marthy's DYI Danmoto and fitted it up and love the sound, idle sounds wicked and pulls thru the mid range better.
