I am looking for an original OEM muffler for my ZXR 250 to pass a RWC in Victoria. Seems ridiculous but they insist. Has anybody had this experience?
Doesnt surprise me... check with @kiffsta I remember he was looking at a "rental" service for just this situation but not sure if the ZXR250 would be in his arsenal... or if he actually ended up doing it.
Standard practice I would think .... Im in NSW and when I was getting the Hyosung registered ol mate said "is that a stock muffler?" .... "are u sure"? ... blah blah blah .... I kept pointing out it had "Hyosung" stamped in huge letters on it Another time and place with an FZR250 with a non standard muffler .... he walked away and said "you put that muffler on tomorrow right?"
Yep. Victoria is pretty hot on mufflers. Some RWC guys refuse to even look at the manufacturers markings and just resort to a sound level test. If you are confident that the current muffler is quiet enough to pass the regs, take it to Dynoverks and they will do a noise test as part of the RWC. Have a chat to the guys at SixtyDegrees motorcycles. They have done my previous RWCs and I find them very reasonable to deal with.
