Anyone know how to remove the baffle from one of these?
Is it held in with a cir-clip?
Or a bolt under the outlet?
Or does it just pull out..?
Have a look for the things above until someone who has one can tell you!
Take a picture too, that will help :)

Ive looked and felt, and it's all smooth, it's a full system.
Mmm well wait and hear from someone who has one and knows what they are talking about :)
Sorry!

What end can style? Old style has a bolt. If it's the hex style it might be like my Yoshi and have a rubber plug on the side facing the bike, if you remove the plug you can access a hex screw that holds the baffle in.
It may not have a baffle in...
If the exhaust outlet is the full diameter of the "outside" of the exhaust then there is no baffle. If it's smaller then there is a baffle.

The baffle is the bit in the middle. There will be a bolt underneath the outlet, undo the bolt, get a pair of pliers and put the middle bit out. You may want to use a bit of cloth to stop damaging the baffle.
Post a pic of the end of the exhaust and it's easy for someone to tell you if there is one or not.

I used a broom handle to whack it out from inside when a friend first got his lol, well tight. Think we sanded it after so it was less snug (fuel can)

I think it doesn't have a baffle then, because there is no centre piece.
thats exactly what mine looks like on the scorpion can, big piece in the middle which just come out after you loosen the bolt

Called the place I purchased the bike from to see if they have the baffle which they do not but they said when it needs an MOT take it back and they will pass it as it is. Happy days.
