In Minsk, the biker modified his motorcycle, which attracted the attention of traffic police

The motorcyclist assured the police that his bike was not subjected to tuning, the truth was established by forensic experts. Details to the correspondent of the agency “Minsk-Novosti” told in the management of the GKSE in Minsk.

The rolling roar of the Harley-Davidson XL 1200 C motorcycle at night was the reason for close attention from the traffic police. During the inspection of the vehicle, inspectors suspected that the exhaust system had been modified. At the same time, the driver claimed that the silencer on the motorcycle was installed by the manufacturer and was not subjected to any changes.

- To establish the truth in the case, traffic police officers appointed a forensic auto-commodity examination, said Marina Kudravets, the official representative of the capital’s department of the State Customs Service. Experts conducted a study and came to the conclusion that the front and rear mufflers are not those that were installed by the manufacturer in the manufacture of the motorcycle. This is the original branded product of the Harley-Davidson trademark, however, designed for modification (tuning), and the noise level of such silencers is many times higher than the permissible standards for public roads.

According to the law, the operation of vehicles is prohibited if the noise level or the content of harmful substances in the exhaust exceeds the established standards. Factory installations of modern motorcycles fully comply with the noise standards established by the current technical regulations, and excess, as a rule, is a consequence of either a malfunction of the silencer or unauthorized changes in the design. Even an original part purchased from an official manufacturer may not be intended for use on public roads.
