i think some of these laws are so stupid ive had some pretty loud vehicles in my day but nothing ive had is as loud as some of these harleys riden around and they dont get hassled. I put a set of 2.5 inch straight pipes on my 76 f-250 highboy and the day i picked it up from the exhaust shop was some kind of state police invasion in my town and it made me a nervouse wreck trying to get it out of town (quietly?) was the loudest truck ive ever had, had to get glasspack to shut it up a little. I see a reason for quiet atvs if you ride near a residential area but if you have respect for people and dont rack the crap out of your pipes at 11pm and be a jerk i dont see why people sould hassle the little guys.

Well I did a compression check its still 148psi which is consistent with the other times I checked it thru the summer so the rattle is maybe water pump or crank. I pulled the muffler apart the packing was pretty wet with oil. Is there a video of step by step for the FMF turbine core for the 86 250r The turbine part is about 2/3 to one side and there is packing on both ends of it. I will put up some pictures. I can only find vague descriptions of how to do it.

up at silverlake sand dunes i have been tested many times. my dads 1983 yz490 is grandfatherd in and can be as loud as he wants just as long as it has a spark arrester. my 99 warrior had a DG pipe and it was 2 db too loud, but because it was a 99 it was allowed to go up exactly 2 over. the theory behind this is back in the day they didn't worry about sound levels so the older it is the louder it can be to an extent where its grandfatherd in like the 83 490. though the DNR at silverlake are very professional (somewhat lol) with their testing and are somewhat consistent (though they let open header buggys threw sometimes. they dont test everything, they just do "random" tests)
I'm not sure if it was a DNR testing you but try looking up what a 86 250r can be legally.

So what's your point? A quad off of the factory floor for law enforcemnt isn't going to be much of a match for a 250r anyways.

A buddy of mine who has plenty of cop friends said that they limit them to 50mph because they don't want dangerous pursuits. Same thing with cop cars being limited to 130.

(no, I'm NOT recommending running from the law, no matter how stuck up and mal-informed they are)

just sayin, the can follow you into the woods, and they patrol there, too.

I had a turn down on mt trx with a lrd with no crappy packing it always passed even though it was loud as hell it just diverts the noise away from the meter .

If you test an illegal pipe from the front of the trike it will pass as well thats the basic idea of a turn down on the silencer

could be a counterbalancer issue too

Only kind of cop patroling trails around here are on sleds in winter trying to get people for trail passes in the city out around home the clubs think they own the roads that there trails run down or any area they go threw and get alot of problems because of it.

Ive never had a cop on a atv before seen dnr out in there trucks and they just wave.Gotta say i dont like cops just simply because of all the stupid thinsg they do because they think theyre imunne to the everything since there a cop kinda like this guy getting rammed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA-RS6Y_N0s notice how he says "hes not stoppin" before you even hear sirens then they ram him. fight the case and try to prove something wrong on the cops part.
