No idea; can't hear them over the exhaust.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

You can't do it with modern cars; puts them in "Limp Home" mode, and you have to stop, turn it off then restart it.

Probably the same if you turned off the ignition rather than using the kill switch on modern bikes.

Havn't done the kill switch thing. Does it damage the bike?

some say yes.
i say no.
though i have blown the packer out of the back header twice doing pipe bangs.
last time was in hawes 100 mile away from home, then rode flat out all the way to a meet at the tap on the wirral.
by the time i got there the inside of the left can was glowing orange, needs repacking now :/
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.
