250-500cc Wanted - Silencer

I picked up another 'Stray' over the weekend ('08 WR250). It just needs a little TLC. It's pretty loud with the stock silencer. Does anyone have an old Aftermarket silencer laying around that you would like to sell? If so, email me. John_Hunter@genpt.com

I may take the OE silencer apart to see if it can be repacked. Any tips on doing that?

The silencer is probably solid with carbon so by cleaning all the holes out in the centre perforated tube and replacing the packing it will be better all round for you and the motor. The inlet pipe end un bolts ( it can be a very tight fit and require persuasion to pull out) and then you can remove the perf pipe with the fibre packing wrapped around as an assembly. make sure you clean the perf pipe properly so all the holes are open otherwise you are wasting you time and money.

I would try to change the material (dont remember what its called in english... :P) in the silencer.
I have a shorty silencer, so the bike was very loud. After repack the bike isnt that bad. Just dont pack to much in there.

The stock silencer is pretty quiet if the packing is new. I bought an FMF Q-Stealth and it is slightly quieter when cruising but nearly the same as stock when WFO. If I had it to do again I'd buy the Turbincore at least it would be lighter in weight.

cant you just use fiberglass insulation?

btw....are there any mods in left kicker restorations thread?
