symptoms? ( muffler repacking)

Post by mark ward » Fri Dec 12, 2014 10:12 am

Hey Y'all
What are the early symptoms, it's time to repack the muffler?
I'm at 43,000+ and things "SEEM OK".
I hear (read) some talk like its standard, like replacing a spark plug, or changing oil.
And of course the "clean out" plugs are pretty much worthless, since they don't come out. (lol)

(lol) Mark (West Mich.) <><><><><> <><><><><>   Mark,   The stock KLR muffler doesn't have anything to pack/repack.  That is usually reserved for some aftermarket mufflers.   The stock muffler might have a baffle inside rust and loosen.  I've heard of a few cases where it blocked exhaust flow and limited engine rpm.  Tweedy is also something that happens with the stock muffler and the common "fix" is to open a few slits by driving a screwdriver in the baffle through the opening in the rear of the muffler.   Best, Jeff Saline The Beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota 75 R90/6, 03 KLR650 . . . . .  .   . .   ____________________________________________________________ Fast, Secure, NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband.
