Colemans Suzuki misleading DR650 LAMS advertising - be warned

[carburator]

at the end of the day the cop is going to ask for for your liscence and run your rego like a good little donut muncher..
He would not have a clue that its not stock or modded..its not like he's got a set of scales and a dyno in the boot of the
patrol car..

as long as you have the right liscence and the bike is on the list or a 250 he's not going to care one bit..

1. If he knows there is a list.
2. If he HAS copy of the list.
3. If he knows there are new laws.
4. If he cares there are new laws.
5. If the new laws are less important than the reason he stopped you in the first place.

Those FMF pipes are pretty vocal. I think it would be plainly obviously that the bike was louder than standard, especially after the packing has started to blow out.

Quick test for an FMF with the packing blown out is, are the cops ears bleeding?

And, do you come home to find the missus is pouring a nice hot plunger coffee for you...

At worst ... it'll give the boyfriend time to hide ...

[talbertnz]

Ofcourse the cops will know or be able to find out if the bike is on the list.

The problem is Insurance. If on a LAMS License and you end up parking your Dr650 with the FMF into the boot of a LambPorscherarri good luck getting a pay out...

No more serious than crashing your bike while you were speeding. Riding outside the conditions of your license is not a criminal offence. Unless it is specified in your insurance policy that you can't .... you will still be covered.

Yeah, right-on, you're never going to bump into a cop that knows anything about LAMS, modified motorbikes or anything like that eh...

"Do you feel lucky punk, do you?"

I think its cool that everyone that has a full licence is vocal about the outcome of a modified lams bike.

If you bought this bike the advice will be only use the pipe offroad or if you have a full licence.
Shop will give the bike to new owner with stock pipe on it if not on a full licence.
You will be handed the fmf pipe as a extra and what you do after with it isnt the shops problem.

It would depend on the legal advice given to the shop ... is the fmf exhaust a "modification" or "accessory" ... ????

If the fitting of that pipe is for reasons of longevity ... not in the search of more horsepower ... it may be deemed legal.

Thats just opinions and if you get a ticket you would need defend yourself in court. Dont like chances of winning that as it would open the door to any pipe being added for non hp reasons.

Ill go with they would give you the fmf as an extra and you fit at your own risk as far as the shop is concerned.
They advertise the bike as lams legal which it is and has extras but I dont think they will install and supply it to a learner and send it out the shop.
The only way to find out would be ring the shop and ask if with the fmf pipe on the bike is it still legal as a lams bike.
Its most likely an advertised special to catch more than one target buyer.

Assumption is the mother of all fork ups.
KB has the best quality forkwits of all time.

We will continue the thread until the offer finishes I would say. Or am I assuming to much?

And on that note. Mods, this needs to be moved! Nothing to do with riding, there is a section for the legalities etc....

actually the lams thing has me a little concerned ie; my boy sits his licence in 2 years and the thought of him on my XR scares me.
