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 |

Re: Fuel Exhaust Q
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).

Re: Fuel Exhaust Q
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.

Ah - cheers Sarah.
Spose i can replace it with a stainless button head allen bolt - would look ok |

Re: Fuel Exhaust Q
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? |

Re: Fuel Exhaust Q
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... |

Re: Fuel Exhaust Q
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

Re: Fuel Exhaust Q
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 |
