Ive got some DG silencer repacking material. The stuff that comes in a sheet. Ive got an rm125 with the oem silencer on it now. Whats the correct way to repack that thing. And what should i hold the packing to the core with. I was told electrical tape was a good idea since the tape would burn off letting the repacking material expand. Also how often should i replace that stuff. thanx for the help fellas!!!

A lot of times you will have to cut the packing a little so it will fit. I just did my 250 and the packing was the perfect size but when we did my buddies 125 we had to cut some off so it would fit correctly. I just wrapped it around once i think, i used regular scotch tape to hold it in place then slid the housing over it and it was done and ready to go. Good luck
You could vibrate the core apart in the muffler. You will also get lots of spooge everywhere, but nothing really major. If the packing pulls through the core and into the center of the muffler or into the baffles, it will plug everything up and make the bike run poorly.

Yes, your neighbors will get mad at you and rally together at City hall and outlaw motorcycles in the city limits. :yell: Your bike will set for years because you won't be able to sell it. :| Soon the gas in the carb will turn to lacquer and plug all the jets and the bike won't start. Eventually all the rubber will crack and fall off. Won't matter anyway because it will be illegal to ride it. :yikes:
