    2003 crf230f Muffler

    by PondaRed » Thu Jul 26, 2012 8:05 am

    I purchased a used 2003 crf230f and it has a BBR "gold" muffler on it. (see picture) Its much too loud for me. Are there inserts available for it that will quiet it down? If not what options do I have for a quieter exhaust that is non stock?


    thanks!

    welcome to CRF's Only! congrats on your new ride. here's the quietcore for that muffler:

    since this is a fairly old muffler it could also benefit from a repack and this would also help with the noise.

    again, welcome!

    Thanks for the welcome. And thanks for the information.

    I am using the CRF230F as a "spare" second bike for my newbie riding partners who are too cheap to own their own bike (he he). I wanted something low power, short seat hieght and reliable - the 230 fits the bill very well.

    Most of them weigh around 200lbs. Do you think the BBR rear/fork springs would be suitable for this weight of rider? Or too stiff.

    the BBR springs would definitely help and are the least expensive way to get better action for that weight range rider.

    I just bought a bbr d2 full exaust for a 2007 230 f and it is louder than stock but still keeps the neigbors happy it is not overly loud and even for the older styles you should be able to by a quiet insert I know you can now
