It is a common practice among vehicle owners to modify their cars and two-wheelers according to their tastes and preferences. After all, your commute is often an extension of your personality. From various alloy wheels to body stickers and so on, people usually make a plethora of modifications to their vehicles. Replacing the original exhaust with a replacement unit is also one of the most common changes made by vehicle owners, especially on motorcycles. We can all agree to have heard motorcycles with loud exhaust noises that broke the silence at night and caused unrest in the neighborhood. In fact, aftermarket exhausts have become such a big problem that several state governments have cracked down on motorists with noisy replacement exhausts, especially Royal Enfield owners. Nevertheless, there is a huge aftermarket exhaust industry in India and there is no noticeable lack of demand. So what exactly does the law say about aftermarket exhausts? By law, most aftermarket exhausts are illegal and here`s why. Another big problem with aftermarket exhausts is that they are (almost always) noisier than the 80 decibel limit, making them illegal. In fact, noisy pollution was the main reason police in Bangalore, Delhi and some other states launched a campaign to punish motorcyclists who had noisy exhausts installed on their bikes. Needless to say, Royal Enfield motorcycles were at the heart of these rides, forcing the company to introduce a legal line of replacement exhaust systems. Aftermarket exhaust in India is illegal unless approved by the RTO.
This means that only aftermarket exhausts sold by automakers as authorized accessories are legal in the country, as they comply with the rules mentioned in the Motor Vehicle Act. Royal Enfield, KTM and other brands sell their own high-performance exhausts and if you choose them, you won`t break the law. Yes, I don`t think a noisy exhaust is a good idea, it gets irritating when you`re here the 50th in a day on the daily commute to work. Often, the installation of a replacement exhaust requires the removal of the catalytic converter. Well, in case you don`t know, a catalytic converter is responsible for filtering exhaust gases to ensure that no harmful particles are released into the atmosphere. In fact, it is the catalytic converter that is responsible for ensuring that motorcycles and scooters meet BS6 emission standards. So if you were to remove a catalytic converter to install a replacement/high-performance exhaust, your vehicle would automatically not meet BS6 emissions standards. It should be noted that there are currently very few replacement exhausts suitable for economical BS6 vehicles.
The officer told about seizing the vehicle and paid a $2500 fine if the exhaust exceeded decibel levels. I don`t know why people here have so much hatred. The upgrade isn`t exactly strong, it just adds a little more bass to the exhaust tone. Triumph has finally revealed the engine specifications of the Daytona 765 Moto2, as the triple 765cc develops 130 hp at 12,250 rpm and 80 Nm at 9,750 rpm. Both performance values are higher than those you`ll find on the top-of-the-line Street Triple RS, which delivers 123 hp and 77 Nm. Interestingly, the Daytona`s maximum torque at nearly 1000 rpm is lower than that of the Triple RS. Triumph claims that this unique melody has better low-range performance and even power distribution. This was made possible thanks to lightweight materials for the engine installations and a new control unit. Not to mention that this edition of the Daytona 765 receives a custom Arrow exhaust that is ready for racing but also legal for traffic! If you want to opt for replacement exhausts, make sure you opt for those that are officially sold by car manufacturers as accessories. The market is flooded with exhaust fumes that use decibel killers to reduce noise pollution, and their price often makes them hard to resist.
In fact, many vehicle users often opt for replacement exhausts that are not RTO approved and are never penalized by police because the decibel killer keeps the noise at bay. However, keep in mind that these coins are illegal, as they are not approved by the RTO. I was idling at a traffic light with my motorcycle engine and it caught the attention of a police officer. My bike had a spare exhaust (Arrow) with the db killers removed, so I guess it probably exceeded acceptable limits (UPDATE: it doesn`t actually exceed). In the end, I paid the policeman £300 with nothing in return. EDIT: This replacement exhaust is an official accessory sold by the company and I just checked through the Smart Tools app, it reaches 80db (the allowed limit is 95db) at 40% of the maximum speed. So, guys, it`s not as bad as you think! The next time I get caught, I`ll tell them to bring their damn data meter. Are you serious. They consider me one of those D-bags that drive their Rx100 with free-flowing exhausts and stunt in heavy traffic without a helmet.

But Triumph has given everything to equip this particular variant of Daytona. Ohlins NIX30 USD fork and TTX36 monoshock units are used to hook the bike, both units are fully adjustable. Then the beautiful 17-inch cast aluminum wheels are equipped with Pirelli Supercorsa SP tires. And to immobilize this supersport, Brembo Stylema calipers are used on the front wheel. This thread is one of the worst threads I`ve ever met. So much jealousy and youthful hostility. Disgusting. I am one of those who ride with full leather and without stunts. Do you wish someone dead simply because you “wake up in the middle of the night and think it was a gunshot” or you have to “close the doors and windows”? I guess we should split into separate gated communities or something like that! I did not expect this from you >: only 765 units of this bike will be made available to potential customers in Europe, Asia and the rest of the world (America and Canada will have their own 765 units).
Each motorcycle receives a Moto2 milled aluminum yoke with the limited edition number laser engraved. We expect Triumph India to line up for India, and Daytona has a cult following among enthusiasts, especially those who wanted the performance of the Street Triple RS in a supersport package. Enough temptation? We certainly are. This is the world`s first Moto2 licensed motorcycle for the road As previously reported, Triumph unveiled the Daytona 765 Moto 2 Limited Edition at this weekend`s Silverstone Grand Prix.
