C650GT to make it quieter

[Johann Ong]

Thanks all members. It has been 1 month now riding my super cool bike. On the road everyone is looking at me. I'm so proud. My next wondering is suppose I want to make the exhaust sounds quieter. Will this possible? I like to enjoy quieter ride.

First time I've EVER seen anyone with this wish. Everyone else wants to make it LOUDER.

Hahaha Jaime thanks for dropping a line. Yes how peculiar most of my friends look at.me one kind.. but really I like quiet machine sound. Even on my previous CBR I enjoyed the original pipe with the 4 in line smooth engine sound.. I am thinking to remove the pipe and see if there is a silencer I can tweak a bit with it.. but afraid of this could make it louder instead...haha

Sounds like you should look into this model:

I wanted it quieter too and here's my solution: Bose Noise Cancelling ear buds. I use this one:

Then I connect it to my Sena on the helmet so its all integrated to everything else. I used Sugru to mount magnets so it stays where I want it and I can take it off too.

My interpretation was that the OP wanted to make the scooter quieter for EVERYONE around him, not just for himself. That's why I didn't just suggest ear plugs (which I wear ALL the time, no matter which PTW I'm riding). However, if that was his ultimate goal, then I'd suggest these "Official Biker Ear Plugs complete with FLAMES!"

Can't beat those flames.

Oh yes of course the C battery operated model is my top in the list but just that this model is not available in Malaysia. Saw from YouTube the stunt man could wheelie this bike!!!
Anyway ear plug and NC earphone is to block the noise. I kinda wanted to hear the noise moreover for safety reason... now thinking another option is to change to 3rs party pipe..

Try the earplugs. I was a skeptic at first myself... but they primarily block the wind noise actually making it easier to hear everything else going on around you. Radio engineers would say it improves the signal-to-noise ratio.
