penno350 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I have the urge to re-pack the silencer on my 2003 315R. I haven't taken anything apart yet but looking at the silencer it seems to be riveted. Will it naturally come apart if I dismantle the exhaust or do I need to drill rivets out?

randyrat Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Yup....drill them out, remove all the minging slop and snot from inside, give it a real good scrub out with something like GUNK, then repack using loft insulation such as ROCKWOOL. New rivets to complete the job. Nice. (Don't do it on the wife's carpet though!) Randyrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hop blip and a jump Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Fill the exhaust but don't ram it in solid. Just poke it in firmly, if it's rammed in tight it won't quieten it down as good.!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovis Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 try rockwool out of your attic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hop blip and a jump Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 it's cheaper than buying the proper gear from a bike shop!! but get your gloves on and don't rub your eyes!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigshineybike Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Only because I had some in my workshop. I have succesfully used fibreglass tissue in my 1978 Cota 348 exhaust. This is the fine stuff that you use to tidy up chopped strand when mould making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
