Is slip on exhaust legal?

Hi,

Just wondering is using a slip-on exhaust on a motorcycle legal or illegal? Till this day I've tried to search some info but all I see is that if you modified until it disturbs peace etc it's illegal. I can't find anything about slip ons.

Happened to me a few years ago, I got fined for having a slip on exhaust, it wasn't loud at all (sounded like stock). I'm riding an R25 with an akrapovic slip on exhaust. I'm not well versed with the motorcycle law, so I didn't argue much with the police, he even threatened me to go court if I disagree with him 😔. Even after few years I'm still curious . Is it illegal or no? My brain can't stop thinking about it xD. So many people modified their exhaust and I don't see them having an issue with it, while mine was just a slip-on which 100% wasn't loud at all, it was for aesthetic purposes only. Thanks. Hope someone can clear this confusion for me.

Starter problem

My motorcycle just suddenly couldn't start for some reason in the traffic light.
While at the traffic light, I used my kill switch and then when I want to start my engine all of a sudden it couldn't start. I here some clicks when I use the ignition switch at the back end of my motorcycle but it just couldn't start.
Luckily there was a motorcycle shop nearby, it's currently in shop and they are still trying to figure out the issue. I've ask some of my friends , they said usually it's the starter solenoid issue?
Im not sure but hoping it's nothing worse.

Do you guys have any other thoughts about this? And usually will it be expensive to get this solved, because the shop was just at the road side, really hoping I do not get scammed by them. Thanks

Hi, first time posting something here. Any other owner of yamaha r25 here? I would like to ask about the price of oil filter because just now i went to yamaha centre to service my bike and they charged me for rm75 for the oil filter , which is exactly the same price of the engine oil (yamalube Rs4gp) and plus those prices doesnt include labour fee, i had to pay another extra rm15 for it. it is already so expensive. i believe other shops are not this expensive?

Just wanna ask is that a normal price? im not so experienced in this
