Hi, I repacked my 2011 sherco last week. It was relatively simple to do. On the back of the exhaust between the end and the bracket, I cut a hole approximately 12cm long and around 7cm wide. Then cut a further two slits along the bottom along the two shorter sides at the bottom and bent back the part just cut which gave me better access for raking all of the old packing out. After this, it's just a case of lots off digging. The whole exhaust is not filled with packing, there is a seond section with wire wool which you don't need to bother with. When I got all of the old packing out, I gave it a good clean especially the central metal core. Then, fill it with packing. Bend the metal back, and place the part from the hole back in. Then I bent a piece of 2mm aluminium sheet around the top, then down the side. Drill some holes for pop rivets, put some heatproof silicone on, then pop rivet it up. It's worked fine, no leaks and sounds a heap better. The advantage is that I can replace it without more cutting and welding every time. I can take some pictures if you want so that you can see where I cut, I'm not the best at describing things! Thanks, Sam
