peterb Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Hi bondy, not many replies here! Only repack if the exhaust note has become noisy. I've used both the pad type and loose (fibreglass type insulation), both were ok. Bye, Peter B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pschrauber Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 If you want to do it use the loose stuff which is easier to apply, you can also easier determine the quantity you need. The quantity depends of course to the volume of the muffler / xhaust you want to repack. With the pads, these are made for a certain diameter or thickness and might not always fit so well to every type of silencer / muffler as there are geometric differences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yambo Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 In a similar vein, does anyone have any tips or pics on SY silencer repacking? I originally planned to cut a window in the side to repack and then cover it with a new aluminium sheet, but I've been told this is a bad idea. New silencers are no longer available it seems.

pauls320 Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 The silencer was very dented in on my Sons bike, I cut it open along top and bottom seams and 2/3 across front from tail pipe. straightened out, did partial repack and tig welded back together and is much better looking & sounding. If your gonna open it up, I suggest you take the extra time and effort to open it completely and clean it out fully as the remaining sludge and oil will get hot and ''gas'' on you and can make welding up a pain.

pmk Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Somewhere on the internet, there is a set of photos about accomplishing this. I thought they were linked on the laptop but apparently not. I searched quickly with no luck. I think the guy is from Italy that did the repack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hope was that I could cut a window rather than splitting the thing in half. That way I could use rivets or screws and castle nuts to attach a new sheet of aluminium over the hole rather than welding the thing back up. The benefit of this is that if I needed to repack it again in a year or two it would be much easier. The drawback is, I think, that extracting the old packing and putting the new stuff in would be more difficult and maybe impractical. 15 hours ago, pmk said: Somewhere on the internet, there is a set of photos about accomplishing this.

That would be extremely useful if you remember where you saw it. I've had a look but I can't find any information or pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauls320 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Be interesting to see the set of photos of this modification... The internals of the oem muffler are such that it would be impossible to cut a window/hatch out of one side to repack the whole thing as its constructed like a big sandwich. There is no internal pipe with perforations with packing wrapped around it. Its got the exterior walls with two layers of perforated thin aluminum sheet that is stamped to have a passage for exhaust to pass down the middle with packing on both sides...and then welded together with the tail pipe bung on the end. ..one other option for you, Ya might want to look into adapting a silencer from a small mx bike that is repackable in place of the original? or one from an older GG?

pauls320 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Here is info on an operation done on a GG (obviously the SY internals are a different animal as mentioned previously) http://www.motomerlin.co.uk/blog/?p=735 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
