Noise issues at Ken Fells

**Goonrider** · 15th April 2008, 08:40

Alot of you who attended were probably not aware the Rodney council were doing noise testing at the boundary on the golf course and also the neighbours place. Ken was warned during the week that they would be in attendance. With full credit to Ken and his team they still decided to run the track close to the golf course boundary, the results were all clear with an average reading of 76 decibels at the golf course and 60 decibels at the neighbours which is excellent news. So Ken can still safely run with his 8 events per year. Also taken into account was the 330 entered riders so classes were also 40 gate above. I know Ken will still be looking at noisy bikes in future events so be aware now that noisy bikes will not allowed shortly.

on this topic, does it actually make those 4 strokes, particularly the 450's any faster by being so loud? it seems excessive, you can get cars putting out 10x more power with a fraction of the volume with much larger engines, why do the bikes have to make so much noise?

Josh coppins bike tests at 94db, where NZ's guys are winging at having to get to 98db, and you think they can beat Josh on the loud bikes!!!

we tested bikes on the dyno, got the bike down to 94db and lost .75 of a horsepower, and we could not notice on the track,

99.9% of the people with loud four strokes cant use all the power in stock form let alone with pipe etc. A loud bike doesnt make it fast just gives the people that are grizzeling something more to moan about and more reason to close land down.
