Hi All,
wanted to share an idea with you. My 1200 sport has a mistral carbon can on it. First 1000 km I used it unbaffled (I know, not very social), but came to a conclusion I do not enjoy the loudness, which made me feel sorry for it and this sorry feeling did take a part of joy while riding. So, the baffle returned to it's place, resulting a much more pleasant and deeper sound while riding, but the sounds it made at idle were just wrong: no deep ingredients, loud frizzling from the exhaust gases pushed through small holes in the baffle.
So I cut away the end of the baffle closest to the motor, where a kind of cap with a hole in it is welded to the tubular part of baffle. It came out perfect now, not much louder than a regular baffle, but deeper and without annoying fizzling.
I thought could be useful for someone not liking the fizzling as I did.
Regards,
Alex
P.S. it seems to me also it pops less with a cut baffle. now I restored the airflow to the stepper motor because of cold weather, and the popping is back (much less compared to the hot weather by the way)
