It's got everything to do with loud exhausts - It's illegal to modify a bike once it has left the factory ( only exception is TIS stamped exhausts, which meet the 95db noise limit ) . As standard fit, a Harley exhaust will have to pass very strict sound and emission laws in the US - A typical Harley over here will have had the legal zorst ( credit Poppa Al) replaced with some wizz bang nonsense, and thus make stupid anti social noise levels, way way above the legal levels. There is no way in the reign of pig's puddin' that the Thai legal exhaust sound limit of 95DB has been increased to 99db Just for Harleys - Made me chuckle though ... 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post properperson Posted November 13, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2021 The net is definately tightening ..... I've just Sold my Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle.... One of the few Ducatis that comes from the (Thailand) factory with a street legal / Thai TIS stamped system..... Prior to the sale, i took it up to the MOT Test Centre for it's annual check, so i could get the tax sticker..... Drove in - Tester came over, took one look at the Termi name on the pipe pipe and said "cannot" - i went into the office and told the lady that it was "standard fit" - She said they were clamping down now and they couldn't pass it ..... I went home, downloaded an exhaust picture from Full throttle borchure and went back - still not happy - so i get on my hands an knees and remove the alloy covers to expost the pipes with the TIS stamps - Tester says "OK" ..... Then he goes to the back of the bike and looks at the (factory fitted) lower mudguard / plate holder - "cannot" he says... i get the lady out the office and tell her and the tester that this is 100% how it came out of the factory - But they were not budging and unfortunately the part of the brochure i'd downloaded only showed a close up of the Termi pipe .... So back home, downloaded and printed off the whole brochure, and put a red ring round the number plate holder and the termi pipe .... Back to the Test centre - showed them the brochure - Did the test, which it passed... I was spitting feathers as i put the exhaust covers back on.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What it is offering grasses is rewards for reporting illegal riding. Even a TIT box can be noisy. What about older bikes pre-TIT Regs. There is no distinction between smaller and bigger bikes for about 20 years. Back then there was a period where the regulations were different for bikes under and over 125cc. It is 95 dB(A) for all now. Measured at half the RPM where it makes max power or 3/4 if the max power is at less than 5000 RPM. Outside that RPM is another story.

Found a page on noise and it stated there 95 for small bikes 99 for big bikes. I was gonna save it I wish I did now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LarrySR Posted November 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2021 Anyone know of an inspection station in the Pattaya area that will pass a bike with Termi race pipes? Asking for a friend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 At the inspection place I go to the whole process is video recorded and from what I saw this information along with "test" results are all sent to the DLT they seemed a bit less strict on bikes than cars..I'm sure some results could be "fudged" if someone had the right connections...but don't think they would want to risk loosing their licence for some random stranger. Last year they refused to test a Mercedes Benz because the first test couldn't be carried out due to the headlights not working the owner tried to plead for an exception but the testing center owner said not possible due to the video evidence. I'm not sure if all inspection places are now required to save/send video footage but suspect they are...whether that actually happens or not T.I.T 23 minutes ago, LarrySR said: bike with Termi race pipes Take it to "Bira" https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bira+Circuit/@12.9218222,101.0057634,17z 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't have TIS mark it's a case of always keep the oridginals or case of finding someone who is in the know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the video is downloaded to the main man at the regional test centre by regents school (pattaya). Like the Lady said - They are clamping down and the guys in the local test centre would rather say "cannot" than getting roasted by the boss . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
