November 12, 201411 yr does anyone know how to clean out the rear part of the exhaust on a fantic 200 standard original exhaust any help or advice appreciated
November 12, 201411 yr I am sure that there are easier ways but this is what I did.I Cut the back and front of the silencer off with a hacksaw having made sure that I scribed a clear line on them for alignment afterwards. The silencer was almost completely blocked in the front section so got a blow lamp on it for a while and then wire brushed the holes in the baffle plate until they were clean. The silencer was then welded back up and resprayed Having seen the amount of carbon in there and how solid it was I am glad that I opened it.
November 12, 201411 yr As I recall back in the day I cut off the last two inches of the silencer by sawing through the outer skin, then cut four or five slots in the side of this piece so that it could be opened out slightly and fitted as a cap over the end of the silencer. A jubilee clip around this closed up the slots so preventing leaks and securing everything in place. This created an easily removable end cap so cleaning and repacking could be done at will.
