Hi

I want to replace the packing in the rear section of my 2014 Sherco ST 125's exhaust.  

Questions:

1. Where are the screws that hold in the black (plastic?) tailpipe, because I can only see one?

2. Which is the best exhaust packing, wool, string or sheet?

 

Thanks 

 

Don't know the answer to question 1 but next time I do one of our bikes I am going to try -

hi, i did this on my 15 125 back in june,  either type of packing works, i prefer stringy stuff coz its easier to fit and sounds better ( in my opnion ) .   from memory there are two maybe 3 screw holding the end can on.  one of these you need to remove the plastic black thing that goes on the back of the tank and exhaust. there is a bolt for this at the top of it under the rear mudgaurd/ just to the left of the silencer.  then there should be another bolt you can see. i couldnt get to this with my tools so for some reason i cant remember i had to take the whole silencer of to do it. sorry for being vague, hope that helps though.

Hi

Thanks for the info.

There are 3 countersunk self-tapping screws.  Two are obvious when you have removed the long, black plastic guard, which protects the tank and exhaust from debris thrown off the back wheel.  The third is well hidden inside an alloy bracket which holds the silencer to the frame.
