I guess the quest for quiet comes with being a little older. I don't have a Talon but a Pioneer 1000. Instead of replacing the muffler, I just installed a bigger tip, for me it's just right on loudness, especially on longer rides.
Did you make the tip or is someone making them. I would like to put a larger tip and different angle out on my 22 talon

It's been a while but I ordered a 2 inch stainless elbow off of ebay and welded it to the factory flange after cutting off the factory tip. Someone was making them but I don't remember who.

I own both a pioneer 5 and a KRX.I wish there was a way to make the KRX as quiet as the Pioneer.If h ever go on the Krx forum there are several people that would appreciate the same thing.
When I go hunting,I always take the Pioneer.There’s no room in the Krx for much,in the pioneer I can take a dog box ,medium size cooler and two good friends.It does not get any better than that!

A KRX has more noise problems than the exhaust. The best way to make a KRX quiet is to sell it and buy a Talon.

@snuffnwhisky quieted his KRX down quite a bit. Maybe he'll chime in, but I think he either pulled the springs out of the primary or swapped them to lighter ones?

Pulling primary intake springs will make it quiet.
I pulled the primary spring 50miles into it.The Krx is a good machine in the high speed desert ,I’ll just leave this conversation at that.I have no regrets as to what machine is better at high speed desert running 35’s w no modifications.

I was being stupid, what is the primary spring? I've always liked the KRX, just not here.

Smitty these Honda guys don’t want to talk about KRXs.but I’ll answer your question.Removing the spring is just a way of tuning the variable speed
clutch.In layman terms it makes the trans. Short shift,thus lowering the rpm’s.The krx is geared really low,so it’s a good way to go.Any more questions,go to the KRXs website.

Last I looked the sister kawi site had died completely. There are plenty of peeps that are willing to talk other makes/models here on hondasxs.com. IDGAF what anyone spends their money on personally. I'll happily talk about pros/cons regardless of who makes it. Red is the faster color Honda though. That is just a fact! 🤣 🤣 🤣
