No Packing

[zomiemama]

Hey guys


So i thought i'd change the silencer packing because i'm doing all round maitnence for the bike.

I opened the silencer and wow...... no packing :coocoo: , and i was wondering why my bike was so loud...

lol i guess the guy before me never put any in. My question is would this have screwed anything up? I'm hoping it didn't and will be repacking it tommorow with the fmf stuff i just bought.

:bang: :bang: :bang:

Packing should only have an effect on the sound level..

it afect jetting also on most mx bikes. that may be what cause your bike odd jetting.

how often do you change packing

 

[2-Strokes 4-ever]

A high revver will tend to burn-up/blow-out the packing. A lugger/short-shifter will contaminate the packing with oil (you're talking 2-stroke?)
We change ours every 50 hours run time.

The packing keeps exhuast flowing through the core of the silencer. If it's blown out the exhaust will flow into the body and impede outflow.

Well I put some of that FMF stuff in I havn't started it yet didn't have time. We've had bad weather here so hopefully it will clear up. I just got my JD Jetting kit in as well. The only thing is the biggest jet it comes with is 178. He told me in the emails to put the 180 that comes with the kit. I'm kinda worried its gonna be too lean. I've got a 185 in there right now.

Give JD a yell and let him know about the jet shortage.He's a great guy and will take care of the problem.

Thanks guys
