KTM 250 sx: I have a problem

[Christoferlee]

This isn't a huge problem, but it's really annoying. The cap on my pipe came off while I was riding, so I headed back an the trail to find it. While I was looking I didn't see that the packing in the pipe was starting to come loose and before I knew it, it was all over the place! I eventually got it untangled from my rear tire and started my bike back up, It was WAY to loud! I never found the cap for it so I was wondering, am I screwed? I mean do have to buy a hole new pipe, or is there a way I can fix the pipe so its not so LOUD!?

P.S. I'm VERY new to riding!!!

If I was you I would start searching **** for a silencer for your bike. The shape of it doesn't really matter, because all your need is the end cap. Then go to your local dealer and pick up some 2-stroke silencer packing(about $15) and follow the directions to repack your silencer. the inside of the silencer will have a shaft with a bunch of small holes in it. those holes need cleaned and opened up. you can either blast it with a sand blaster or use a torch to heat it and melt it off. get that clean and put together and you should be good to go.

Those KTM end caps fall off pretty easily. Use some locktite on the the screws when you put it back on.

Alright, I'll do that.
