racey Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Has anyone cut open a Sherco silencer and repaired/repacked it. Mines a 2006 and is rattling as though something is loose inside, no doubt a baffle or inner pipe. I wondered if anyone had advice on which way to cut it open and what to expect once this is done. I assume it would need to be welded back up again unless there's an alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucki3 Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Angle grinder! Remove the back - follow the outer lines and cut as clean as possible. Repack as required and weld back up. If you dont have the facilities then most garages/bike shops have the gear. Mine went on an 04 after 6 months, once i done the cut and shut i never had a problem!

baldilocks Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Hey Racey I'll swap your exhaust for my new one, maybe then I 'll stop doing unintentional doughnuts in every section !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercoholic Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Check out the previous silencer posts from the Sherco forum like this one. Best to read the whole dialogue as pictures included, before switching on the grinder - hope it's not too late! http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/index....&hl=exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racey Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Baldilocks, Is that why you like wide sections, with the flags as far apart as possible. Can I pop round and cut your silencer open to check what it should be like inside Racey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racey Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Shercoholic, thanks a lot for this link - I couldn't find this when I glanced through. It will have saved me a lot of time as I haven't had the chance to sort it yet Much appreciated racey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan bechard Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Actually, there is Gen 2 out now, Chris Mountechet on the STRA board has made some neat inserts and replacement panels to make them more easily repackable. I have a set to install next one, I just have not gotten too it yet. You could PM him off the STRA website probably and see if you could get the pieces from him. I think it will make them really slick if you go through the effort one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
