  1. Yeah, it's just you. You probably throw soured milk away and follow all of those expiration dates on food too. Some folks are perfectly content with what ever muffler "The Man" has installed on their motorcycle. I, Sir, am not one of those people.
  2. I'll keep and eye out for a new one or nice used one. It wound be nice to have an easy to repack silencer can on the end though. I got the bike from a STRA member in Macon, GA. He might even be a member here.
  3. I found a thread here where another member document his cutting, repacking and closing back up of a Beta muffler/silencer. He was nice enough to send me a slide show of how he did it all. A perforated steel core runs thru the center of the aluminum muffler body which is lined and filled with sound absorbing material. Basically the whole muffler is a glass pack muffler which also serves as an expansion chamber I'd assume. Might anyone know if the Sherco uses the same design? I'm kinda inclined to gut the whole muffler body and then add on my KX silencer which is repackable. The larger volume of expansion chamber might be great for power. I wonder if oil accumulation is a reason they get noisy? Ponderous.
  4. This is the exact look I am going for! Awesome! I guess that price isn't too bad. How long do new ones usually stay quiet-er? Might you know of a thread or link that would have pictures of one of these mufflers opened up? Two chambers etc. or have you seen inside and might explain how it is laid out?
  5. I'll have to make a bracket/guard combo to keep my new silencer in place. Where did you find a newer style rear muffler? The ones I find are pretty expensive and overseas so shipping on top of the cost. I know, wahhhh.
  6. I just picked up a FMF silencer for a '94 KX 125 I hope to mod and stick on the end of my OE Sherco silencer/muffler. (Sorry, couldn't link or post just the picture) http://www.ebay.com/itm/190658277839?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 I thought I'd have to have the FMF tubing expanded a bit to fit over the 1.25" OD Sherco tip but the FMF tubing is about 1" OD and I think it will slip inside the Sherco tip, once I cut it square. I think I read that the rear muffler/chamber/silencer on my '01 125 is the same part number as the 250 and 290. This makes me think the tuning for Trials power is not as critical as MX or high revving engines. I bring this up because the OD of the silencer piping for the KX125 is the same size as the ID of the tip coming out of my 125 muffler. I'm sure a KX125 makes more horsepower than my Sherco 125 and I think that the size was a compromise to cover 125/250/290. I think the slightly smaller diameter and longer length just may help bottom end as well as taking some of the bark off of the note.
  7. Gotcha. Mine has one hose running from one side to the other. I thought this was odd and wouldn't work but there is a slice cut in the hose at it's lowest point, under the carb.
  8. I think I have the same issue as the OP, it's not that the throttle is sticking or hard to pull, it is too light and too easy to pull. Makes trying to ride it more difficult to control. Maybe Dellorto has higher rate springs for these carbs.
  9. What exactly are deflector tubes? Are they like filters?
  10. I wouldn't mess with the idle mixture air screw yet, it ran before the way it was set, right? Sounds like you have a clogged jet or something else, you need to look in the float bowl.
  11. Too late for that! I suppose the silencer assembly is also the expansion chamber too so it is prolly tuned for the engine as well as making it a bit quieter. Mine is a bit dented on the outside face so maybe it's time for a mod.
  12. So there is a combination of steel wool packing and softer fabric like packing? Would it be better to just use stainless steel wool packing for all of it? I've also read that just burning out all of the oil and opening up the perforated cores really helps too. What about any kind of add on or different muffler that will fit in the same location?
  13. What in tarnation is a deflector tube? I'll definitely get an inline fuel filter. I did notice that the emulsion tube sticks up into the throat of the carburetor more than I've seen in any other brand, Mikuni, Keihin etc. Works well, very light throttle spring, not what I'm used to, very touchy. I just got two gallons of 93 octane pure gas, no alcohol. I hope this helps, 'bout time I quit.
  14. The carb turned out to be pretty clean, however one of the float rods was bent slightly and the left side float didn't move up and down easily. I bent it back a little bit so it would slide. Bike starts and runs like it did. Is the tank supposed to fit so tightly and has to be pushed down when tightening the screws? They sure did put alotta stuff in a small space.
  15. Mine started doing this while riding, started to wheeze like it was running out of gas and then died. Wouldn't start unless choke was on nor would it keep running even if I gave it throttle. It did this warm, after riding for about 20 minutes. I suppose some gunk coulda gotten loose and clogged the jets, can't think of anything else that would cause this problem.
