Like the rest of this machine, the exhaust system seems to be original and in fairly good shape, but it is just too loud for me and bothers my ears if I ride for more than a few minutes.
I am looking for a way to quiet it down, an add-on muffler will be fine, but whatever I do must have a USFS approved spark arrestor. Unfortunately, sound levels for the "add on types" seem to have wildly mixed reviews for the same product installed on the same model machines.
Of course, acceptable noise level is entirely subjective, and will vary for each user. That said, if I can’t hear my exhaust at all, I would be happy!
I found a couple of old posts suggesting that aftermarket mufflers are becoming scarce for this model, so I am looking recent information, hoping I’m not too late with this mod.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone can provide!
