chris morris Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Does anybody Know where to get the pre-formed packing for my 05 rev3 rear silencer? Its been mentioned in a few previous topics. Could re-pack with the normal loose stuff, but, its always been abit of a ball ache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricksta Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) Loft insulation is a good and cheap silencer packer, but it just needs changing more frequently. Edited February 20, 2006 by Ricksta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmsprocket Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Use the Rockwool based insulation. Costs peanuts and you get a huge bag the size of a person. Fold around a silencer baffle tube and tape with paper masking tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrc1 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Always use the proper silentsport loose packing. A little tedious to use, but by far the best for response & feel. Transformed my 06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanium Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 What is rockwool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffrider Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Rockwool is 4inch insulation that we traditionally use to line the loft with - to try and keep some heat in our houses. Us brits hate the cold and we have lots of it. It usually comes in rolls, rolled up it's about 2feet high and 2feet diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanium Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I used that once and while it didn't light on fire, the smoke belching out would have you thinking it did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmsprocket Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Rockwool is spun molten rock - not to be mistaken for fibreglass insulation. In simple terms, rockwool doesnt burn, its the accelerants added to it that burn (same as any retardant packing). We put it in very hot two stroke mx bikes. No issues. We change it very frequently to keep performance up. Weight is reduced quite significantly too due to the build up of oil in old packing. Also, if you pressure wash your bikes you will find the packing becomes water logged which in turn can cause rust probs. Fibreglass can melt and ignite with accelerants added.

champagne73 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I bought the pre formed packing from a beta dealer who shall remain nameless!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
