I have to head to work at 3:30 in the morning. Anybody have any thoughts about how to make my bike quieter on start up and fast idle? It’s a KLR 650 with an aftermarket muffler. It’s not straight pipe loud, but a thumper is going to thump.

I’m currently looking to see if I can find an additional baffle for the exhaus. That I can just slip in real quick on startup.

I’ve talked to my neighbors (the ones I care about) and so far they haven’t said it’s a problem, but they did say it woke them up once or twice. So I figure it wouldn’t be bad to try to do a little something.

Any thoughts are welcome

    That is kinda what I thought. I don’t have the factory muffler. I bought it with the most Chineseinum aftermarket muffler I had ever seen. Which promptly fell apart on me. So I had to buy a real aftermarket muffler.

    I will keep looking for that baffle or maybe make myself one.
