Hello

I have been reading this forum for about a year and in last autumn I got myself a Ducati, before I rode 3.5y a S1000RR ( pictures of the BMW: BMW-Treff Userpage von SirRichi ).
I really like the informations from this forum, the technical stuff and so to say hello: Thank you all for this great forum :D

Some pictures of my Panigale are here:

BMW-Treff Userpage von SirRichi

It is almost stock, I just changed the tail with LED signals, and a aluminium plate holder, then the whole carbon fibre got a glossy clear coat.

The swing arm problem/rubbing chain is also present on my bike (now 2700km on the odo) and in the next days I get a new chain from Ducati because of that.

Have a nice day and sorry if my english is not the best :D

Hoi Richi

Härzlich willkomä i däm forum da. Häsch ä gueti wahl troffe! sowohl bim töff als au bim forum :)

Villicht bis bald emol, ich chum us züri.

(welcome here, you did the right choice. both with the bike and the forum :)
maybe we'll see us sometimes, I am from Zurich)
 
About the swing arm rub:
My chain is not even length or how this is called... A bit is sloppy, a bit is stiff, should be because of that, the sprocket is allright :)

@ Gecko

klar, wenn i Jura oder Richtung Bärn fahrsch, eifach mäude :D
 
And one more from Switzerland (zurich as well) ... Welcome to the forum!

Very nice bick you have there. But how about the Termis? I didn't know they were street legal in CH? Got even pulled over by German police in the Schwarzwald with my stock cans and have been told they were "too loud" (first had to stop the police officer talking until I had pulled out my earplugs - didn't relly help much with my argument :)

Have the Termis been homologated for Swiss market in the meantime?
 
The stock Termi slipons a got together with my Tri are definitely not homologated in Switerland. Even removing the butterfly valve or making it permanently is not allowed.
However police in Zurich does not really care, becaus it does not really get louder.

I got pulled over several times. I just show them the small silver plate on the monocoque that says 104dB and the slowly start believing my words then.

Bingo :)
It only gets louder with high RPM, otherwise I do not hear a big difference to the stock exhaust :D
 
270f + 3 days time to chance originals, then go to policestation showing the bike...welcome to NE....
 
Vue des Alpes trip? Saw the police there several times...

And I have the dbkillers installed :)
 
Yes, Db-killers on... Unlucky me, need to live Canton NE....Iguess, worst canton in swizerland..
 
We have anal-retentive regulations in Québec as well. Plus they vary from one town to the next.

The Provincial cops don't care much, but Municipal Police are totally nuts. I know of people who received citations for stock systems!

Ifound this...

Hi there,

We met 6 English bikers in a campsite in Germany last year who had tried to get into Switzerland and had been turned away at the border as 5 of them had after market exhausts on with NO baffle. Whilst at the border they met another 2 english bikers coming out of Switzerland (who had no problems getting in!), who then got fined €400 because they had illegal / after market exhausts.

The guys we met got the impression that as long as the exhaust is original or has a baffle that they would have been allowed in!

This is all we've heard... think I'll put my baffle in when we go though just to be safe... wouldn't want to give them my travel cash!

Even though I'm a lawyer, I'm not sure how the Swiss law deals with foreign bikes. The problem in CH usually is that after market exhausts do not have cathalytic converters, which is illegal in CH. Not sure though if the Pani's cat is in the cans or somewhere in the header?

Removing the baffle certainly is a bad idea! A 400 Euro fine is actually quite reasonable (depending on the Canton where you get caught). In Zurich, the minimum charge is around 450 Euro, but can be higher, depending on the circumstances. And if you dont carry your baffels with you, they can ground you and you have to tow your bike out of CH! So at least put your baffles in and don't rev your bike at the boarder!
