YOGYAKARTA - Actually there's nothing wrong with the racing exhaust, because actually the racing exhaust was created to increase torque and motor power on the racing track. What's wrong is only if the motorcycle owner doesn't understand the use of the exhaust. Want to know what are the bad effects of using the exhaust racing?

One of the most common errors made by the motorcycle owner is installing exhaust tracing on standard motorcycles. Meanwhile, standard motorcycle exhausts have been designed by manufacturers in such a way as to ensure that motor performance reaches its maximum level.

As a result, the installation of exhaust racing on motorbikes that should not be suitable becomes detrimental. And of course, this loss will have a negative impact on finance.

In addition, the price of exhaust racing cannot be considered cheap. The average price for local brands is around Rp. 550 thousand, and it can reach up to Rp. 2 million.

Before deciding to install this exhaust on your motorbike, you should first know the bad effects!

Here are some of the bad effects of using exhaust racing:

According to one Honda motorcycle technician in West Java, the assumption that the maximum power gain that can be obtained from the exhaust tracing is not true. In fact, it can make the engine spin unstable.

Racing exhausts are used specifically for racing purposes. Racing motorbikes have generally been retuned according to their needs. If your motorbike is an injection engine motor, there will be a CO2 sensor in the neck and exhaust exhaust drain. If you replace the standard exhaust with a racing exhaust or free flow exhaust without controlling the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), the sensor will send a different signal to the ECU. As a result, the engine spin will become unstable.

If the engine spin becomes unstable, other problems will arise. Motorcycles may heat up more quickly or even experience other problems. If the bike is still new and is damaged because of this, are you sure you can still use your motorcycle warranty?

Therefore, if you want to replace the racing exhaust, at least you need to make modifications to your motorcycle engine, such as first porting the polysh. If not, then it will only be in vain. It's expensive to buy a racing exhaust, but it doesn't match. In fact, the machine can be problematic.

Gas pressure on the racing exhaust is indeed quite light, so the pull feels light. But the piston pressure will decrease, and as a result, fuel consumption will increase.

Most people are not very aware of this problem. Although the increase in fuel consumption is not too significant, you will still spend more to buy fuel. Isn't that a shame?

Provisions regarding the threat of punishment have been regulated in Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation, especially in Article 285. In essence, if your motorbike does not meet technical requirements, such as not equipped with mirrors, strange horns, lights that do not turn on, or non-standard exhaust, you can be fined a maximum of IDR 250 thousand or a maximum prison sentence of one month.

Can racing exhausts cause you to not be able to refuel? In mid-November 2017, news circulated in the media that Pertamina would ban motorbikes with racing exhausts or non-standard exhausts from refueling.

This policy was taken after the fire incident in Salatiga, which was caused by sparks from the customer's exhaust while refueling.

Pertamina's VP of Fuel Marketing, Afandi, at the time said, "Based on experience so far, if the exhaust is not standard, when the motor is started there will be sparks that are very dangerous for safety."

If there is a policy like this, how will you respond as a racing exhaust user? You may need to refuel at gas stations other than Pertamina.

After knowing the four losses, do you still want to replace your standard exhaust with a racing exhaust? It is better to reconsider the financial risks you may face.

Rules for using racing exhausts

The use of exhaust should not be done carelessly, because there are rules. Based on the Regulation of the Minister of Environment Number 07/2009 concerning the Motor Vehicle Noise Threshold, the allowed noise threshold is 85 for vehicles with type 80 cc and below, and a maximum of 90 for types 80-175 cc.

Installing an inappropriate exhaust will not only damage your motorbike, but also violate the law and disturb others. Therefore, if you don't want to get punished or sanctions, you should use a standard exhaust that is more comfortable and does not disturb others.
