Default Fuel Exhaust Q

Just recieved this today with "removable" baffle.

I guess it's this bit :



So to remove it i drill out this yes?



So to refit i just bolt it back in i guess?

Let me know if i'm being daft here as i can't see anything that looks baffleish

are you sure it's supposed to be removable?? the removable baffle on our fuel exhaust had a bolt rather than a rivet thingy. maybe they send you the wrong one (i think the budget exhausts they do have rivets).

just had a quick look at their website and it says the budget cans have a removable baffle which is secured with a stainless steel rivet, so i suppose technically it is removable.

Yep, the budget ones are riveted. just replace with an short M6 bolt and you're sorted (why you'd want to replace it other than for MOT though?).

I have to say the baffle on that looks a lot less restrictive (read open) than the one I had on mine, other than that the budget doesn't look much different to the standard IMHO.

Did you get your free Kendal Mint Cake?

Yeah - awesome touch i thought.

Quality is really good. Apart from the rivet it looks v. similar to those i have seen elsewhere - i'll put some more pics if anyone wants them close up to have a gander at quality...

i forgot to say, as others have said before, the easiest way to remove the baffle (after removing the rivet/bolt) is to (carefully) shove a broom handle (or similar) through the exhaust before fitting it

Just to confirm what others have said really, but yes, drill, knock, then fit

The fuel can I got has no possibility of fitting a baffle so it's off the bike & she's getting a scorpion high level
