something hanging out of my muffler????

winter_rules · Sep 7, 2002

Hey guys. I was out messing around today on our back hill. No hard riding or anything, but one time when I stopped, I noticed the end of my muffler hanging out the back of it. It is the stock muffler on my '96 XR 250. It looks like a little black cap that fits inside the main (bigger) end of the muffler. It has a black shaft that slides into the inside of the muffler. Any ideas on what it is and what I have to do? I'm new to biking and need all the help I can get. Thanks a lot for any help! *Winter Rules*

I believe thats the silencer core. You wrap the packing around it and slide it into the can. It should be held in with rivets or screws. You probably lost the screws/rivets and had it rattle out, good thing you caught it in time. I once had my silencer fall off (talk about scaring the crap out of you), and had a heck of a time finding it.

its a baffle, my xr200 had one, its better to run it without it, its louder and better performacne.
