BUYER BEWARE WHEN
PURCHASING MUFFLERS/SPARK ARRESTORS FROM ONLINE PRIVATE PARTIES
OAKLEY, CA - Quiet Warrior Racing (QWR) urges riders to
beware of buying sound and spark arrestor compliant exhaust from private
parties. Several riders at Oakland Motorcycle Club’s 2012 SheetIron 300 Dual
Sport Ride were turned away from the event after failing to pass tech
inspection.
The QWR tech team was not able to pass those exhaust systems
because they did not have an officially approved spark arrestor or the spark
arrestor had been compromised.
Don Amador, president of Quiet Warrior Racing, states, “Be
careful when purchasing exhaust systems from online private parties. Several
riders new to the sport had to be turned away from a recent dual sport event
because they had unwittingly purchased a non-sound/spark arrestor compliant muffler
from a private source.”
“With the price of travel, entry fees, and other costs
associated with riding a dual sport or off-road motorcycle being so high,
riders must take time to make sure their exhaust meets sound and spark arrestor
land-use laws. QWR urges riders to include a review of their exhaust system on
their bike prep check list before riding on public lands,” Amador concludes.

arrestor link below:
