125-200cc I need my CR 125 quieter

A repack helps marginally, but not enough. And don't worry too much about me passing you, Rich. I had her singing at Pine Barons, but that enduro was practically designed for my 125!

My 2008 cr 125 is quiet compare to my sons stock 2010 yz 125 those bike really bark.

I Rode PBER with a flat front so you might have!

I got a question...

I also have the TC2 on the WR125...with the FMF pipe.

The first time I went to repack I took it apart, threw out the packing and almost put the whole thing in the gunk tank to wash.

What's up with the packing around the turbine?

I called FMF and it came across as a permanent setup...how can that be?

I haven't done it yet but I'm going to drill some rivets and see what's in there.

If anyone has got this wet or it is soaked with whatever wouldn't that kill any sound deadening qualities at a pretty key location?

Anybody mess with this yet?

3 of our 125/144s have FMF TC-IIs on them. They do not sound or measure loud. At least not aginst the 250Fs my son races/rides with. They are not much louder than our XR400 (sound meter wise).

The stock WR silencer on pre-'09 bikes is big but very quiet.

Is it by any chance SS wool? I own 3 TC-IIs but have not needed to re-pack one yet.

ive had a tcII apart at both ends,dont bother pulling off the spark arrestor end cap .nothing in there but a solid metal spiral(turbine),the end cap is all metal,no packing,you can see some packing when you normally remove it to repack,but its only a 1/2 or so of packing around the end of the turbine

fury1, Thanks...Did you leave the 1/2'' of packing in?
The rivets actually vibrated loose after the last race; need to rebuild anyway.

I don't think it's stainless, mine's definitely yellow...

Norm, how does the bike run with the snorkel? And is it real quiet?

Thanks,

I guess these guys are really out of business. I checked out their site, finished. Too bad, I'm trying to really snuff my bike for the little local patch I creep around in, don't need any attention from anyone.

Has anybody built a snuffer like the snorkel from rad hoses or similar? I'm going to start looking for an alternative to use on the silencer. In the woods I'm never at high RPMs anyway, just lugging around.

Most of my bikes noise comes from the airbox.

i bought a Q for dorkboy 3s 98 RM80 look alittle harder ill hunt down p/n if you em

that dfeckel post was nearly 3 years ago
I know Robert-jan runs a db snorkel on his wr 125

I ran a db snorkel on my WR125. It was quiet, but I kept breaking the aluminum brackets with the swingarm on big landings, so I sold it.

I saw pictures of woods racers in the 90s making their own using a csection of innertube.

I would only use it in tight woods locally, no big hits in there. I'll be exploring the inner tube method, thanks!

Jim

I have one for sale...

I would be interested in a substitute DB snorkel for my WR125. I looked for one, not to be found.

Sorry about that, I meant if anybody found a vendor that still had any....won't happen again.
