TOOOOO quiet

I have never Seen it happen! A loud sled is past house in a few seconds but when a sled goes off trail and destroys crops that cost the land owner money!

This is true in MOST cases not all. Some trails pass very near homes. PA where I rode was really close. Those guys all are quiet for reason. But for those of us who LEGALLY have to ride off trail to get to the trail sometimes within 30ft of a house at 2 am and lights go on it tells you something. If your buddies say holy cow its loud it tells you something and if you turn the TV up when you get home,feel wore out and possibly a headache. Earplugs make all that go away. It tells you something. Tells you you are being inconsiderate and to quiet it down. If you dont then it should tell you something else! If none of that occurs go ahead.

Why would you ride at 2 am past sumbody house?

Its legal and thats how I get home. In many cases trails are within 30ft of a house. The trails dont close. You would be suprised how many house are very close to trails. Most times dont notice cause of trees. Heck in PA I remember trails were on sidewalks 5ft from houses.

I think there's a fine line between obnoxious and a smooth performance sound, no wonder I can't get more than 13 mpg out of my viper, my home brew magnaflow can is music to my ears.

Turned into a can thread real quick eh?

Loud pipes close trails.....

Agreed 100%
I like to hear the sled, but too much noise really wears me out and takes the fun out of riding for me.

I tend to agree with you fellows, but all i hear is the track whining! I was inside on the garage floor & could barely hear the motor. There is a HUGE difference between LOUD & hearing the motor. I'm not bitchin', i just like my sleds like my women. I like to hear their motor running over the whining...

 

[cannondale27]

Thats what it started as. Murdered has it right. Its a fine line. Last year in end I was over it.

Well nobody will have to worry about loud Sidewinders at 3am. All the old owners will be snuggled in bed by 9 pm! LOL

"Fine line".. performance sound... "too quiet" (trying to get that one)... just a heads up here. In MI they are really putting a effort into testing out on the trail . I have seen it three different times in UP at random locations (just this past season)with articles mentioning a "stepped-up" enforcement scheduled for the 16-17 season. I know for a fact! you will be seeing trail closures based on noise levels. Its going to be the latest issue that groups will use on getting trails closed. Man..! Yamaha sidewinder with 200hp stock and quiet..don't know what more ya could ask for! Just FYI fellas! and I'am not playing noise police.

This is one of the topics that should just be left in the dark.. loud and quiet pipes, sex, religion and politics.. its like assholes, everyone has one but we dont need to have a debate about it.. unless you really want to talk about how many times I #*$&@ in one day.

I think you're missing what we're saying. This Sidewinder has NO noise. While standing behind Sidewinder & Apex both running, the Apex was louder at idle than the the Winder at over 3000 rpm's. I NEED to hear the rpm's climbing so my heart rate can climb with it. I rode an electric bike this year. It was fun, but NON-EXHILARATING! I'm not talking about the loud race can, just SOMETHING...
