Irish riding vid

Nice work!
Yeah, I was in WIcklow, so saw the rain before I finished breakfast. I ended up taking the car
My faith in MetEirann isn't much, but they really missed the mark this time. We had torrential rain.
Surely someone here knows how to reset your system? My guess is disconnecting the battery?
BTW, you forgot to fire it up right after those baffles came out!

Even my trusted ACCU weather got it wrong, I forgive them because that high wind can turn the tables in a blink, Could do with getting the engine light off just to see if changing the baffle back did the trick,
I did tare the *** off it coming back which could have exasperated the problem... Let me rephrase that 'I took it to the limit'
You are right.. I should have gave it a blast unbaffled but needed to do the tank before going for a test run So time wasn't on my side, Only did the vid to show u what I was on about in earlier post... Since the post where I spoke about making up some kinda hook thingy to get the baffles out I noted things laying around the yard that would do the job So it took less than 10 minutes to put the slide hammer together, The thing is It most likely would never have entered my head to make this if you hadn't shared the problem on here... Little did I know the tool would be needed so soon,
I love having the standard baffles back in, They kinda express my feelings in sound... That might sound strange But when stopped at traffic lights and just playing a little with the throttle It seems the bike could nearly talk to you, Its like a tormented loin doing the heavy breathing bit... I love it, I'm not talking about revving the *** off it Just barely touching the throttle to change the note, The smile is back on my face with these baffles in,
Might have a chat with the owner of a bike shop here to see if he has the thingy to turn the engine light off... He's bound to know someone that can sort it, If it comes back on it will be hitting the road to the dealer again,
If I had only one wish this afternoon It would have been to meet up with the guy that made these Super Quiet baffles.. Then I would stick them both up his hole.
Catch you later dude

Oh, btw, the tensioner shoe cam apart as he removed it. It had less than 25K miles.
Now it is much louder with the same baffles. Much sharper sounding, too. A bit harder to start and a bit more of a lope. It pulls very strong. I have to hold on now. I even went and made sure all the bolts on the clamp and the handlebars were tightened well. This is how they shoulda come from the factory!
I also got a new puter for video and photo editing. SO i'll try and make the next few vids more interesting.

Sounds like you have her sorted for the summer, Dont know what year your bike is but seen somewhere that all pre 2006 Dynas have a spring loaded cam thingy that puts too much pressure which causes the plastic pad to wear and break up,
Lucky for you he found it because the bits that come off can block the oil flow to the engine, Looking forward to the next riding vid
forecast looks good for the next few days So planing a ride to the Clare coast for a bit of Pollock fishing from the cliffs tomorrow with the help of Buddha,

Still in the process of sorting the video thing out. Here's my most recent - mostly takes place up in the WIcklow hills south of DUblin:
