I was going to the gym today and decided to wear my half helmet. This was the first time I've used a half helmet on the spyder and I could not believe what I was hearing.......the engine sounds like a sewing machine.

Ummmm... get to know your spyder! When it doesn't sound like that, might be time for a look see :)
It's not a Harley, an GL, or anything else! It has it's own sound.... I pick up on these sounds myself and I recommend you do to. You will know when something has changed or maybe not right!
Sounds like your getting "in tune" with your ride :)

Thought I was in tune, I think I am getting intimate now. But you are very correct knowing what the normal sound will be key in picking out when it sounds abnormal.

:agree: the rs does sound completely different with the half helmet. :shocked: I noticed that last year when riding mine with the same. at first I thought something was going on, but soon realized it was just the air dynamics of the helmets that was hiding or distorting the sounds. weird to say the least! :thumbup:

we use modular helmets so we hear it both ways...then we changed the exhaust so it sounds like a real engine. Now installed JT's air system and it sounds even better...but if you like the quiet stick with it the stock set up...:thumbup:

I went for a quick ride today, boy does that TBR muffler sound good, not too loud, as I have fitted a P1-X power tip to it, but that roar that makes you feel you have some real power between your legs.

Make that a "well-oiled sewing machine!"
