With the aftermarket exhaust fitted ... it no longer qualifies officially to be in the LAM's class. Unless you can prove it does not increase the hp of the bike or no stock exhausts are now available.

The CB650RAL is also in the LAM's class ... and rated at 92 hp (from memory) ... a little more than the 400's 42 hp.

It looks like he's only got a slip-on, which is in-fact allowed under the LAMS regulations without having to prove any weight/hp figures.
I think this was changed sometime over the past few years as a common-sense response to the large number of LAMS motorcycles which have a slip-on that does not make it remotely faster than the factory setup.




250cc to 660cc learner-approved motorcycles
The modifications below are intended to allow the user to customise/personalise their motorcycle without increasing the power to weight ratio. Some modifications will have a minor effect on power and others a minor effect on weight. However, these are not considered to be significant.

Allowed modifications

Slip on muffler/exhaust
Fairings/plastics
Wheels and tyres
Lights
Any other minor modification that would not affect power to weight ratio. e.g. handlebars or seats.


But if it's a complete aftermarket exhaust system, I think he can get away with it as long as it's functionally very similar to the OEM system.




Prohibited modifications
Big bore or stroker kits, or any other modification that increases engine capacity
Ignition or fuel supply tuning/modification
Exhaust system (other than a slip-on muffler) – replacement components on older or classic bikes must be as close as possible to OE specification
Fitment of a turbocharger or supercharger
Nitrous oxide (NOS) injection
Any other modification intended to increase engine power or significantly reduce motorcycle weight.
