Re: [St] Noise profile for 2006 Sprint ST 1050 c/w sport cans

[Dan Wetherington <dnlwthrn@xxxxxxxxx>]

That's kind of my point.  They have this limit that they impose, but 
they don't say how its to be measured.  If you stick a dB meter 1 ft 
from the exhaust and rev the engine to 60% of max, its going to fail, 
even on a stock bike.  We played around with a co-worker's boat (similar 
issue at the boat launch he uses) and found that at 10ft he was 104dB, 
but at 20ft he was 101dB.  I told him just to idle and leave the 
throttle alone while near the marina... (big block with captain's call 
for those who like boats).
For the bike, you should be fine.  I think they're trying to scare away 
the guys who run virtually open pipes.  Its not like you're running a 
MotoGP bike...
