Sound check
“Dear MOTORCYCLE helpline. Is there the ultimate muffler for my BMW F 800 R? That sounds fat? Who looks sharp? Who has a real boom? And which the race management agrees to be mild?” Let’s take a look around: seven accessory silencers compared to the original BMW F 800 R.

In our series of measurements, the BMW F 800 R only stays within the legal limit with the original system. Although, according to the enclosed documents, every accessory system from this test is of course certified by various testing organizations from Luxembourg, Ireland, Spain or Germany that it complies with the limit values. Officially correct, with letter and seal. As a customer and buyer, you can of course rely on that.

Refilling of insulation wool
Further actual values from the test: All accessory pots are significantly lighter than the original. But that is no wonder either. Because from the factory there are usually lush silencers with baggy reflection chambers at the manifold outlet. That is a huge part of the weight.
The accessories industry usually focuses on absorption dampers that are stuffed with sound-absorbing insulation wool. Lightweight construction as it is in the book. At this point, however, it should not be forgotten that the fibers burn up in the long run. So at some point it will be necessary to refill or replace the rear silencer.
Anyone who thinks that a new peak in terms of horsepower can be expected with the repotting campaign will soberly take note of the performance output of all seven challengers. After all, a little consolation is a look at the torque curves: In the middle, the Bayern twin now pulls significantly more forcefully – which is much more noticeable in practice on the country road than a relatively abstract high score value on the test bench role.
