Muffler packing/repacking?

[REDRIDER]

some advice please,

I have a standard exhaust on my CR250 and repacked the muffler 3-4months ago but was noise tested at thundercross last weekend @ 98 db and that was NOT full throttle.

Are some packing material better than others, I was just given sheets of packing over the counter at cycletreads, will a better brand quieten it down, just a little.... Cheers

At 3-4 months ago the packing in a CR250 is probably oil soaked or carboned up and now probably not very effective.

Use Silent Sport packing mate if someone here can tell you where to get it! I still have some left from my Karting days so haven't bought it in a few years. They reckon not to jamb it in to tight either, just wrap a nice generous matt around the stinger pipe and push it into the can. But its good stuff. Lasts for ages, doesn't burn or blow out, lighter than stock packing.

Maybe someine here can put you onto a supplier in NZ or do a google?
I can post a pic if you want to identify it.

Hey bud... the one from spectrum works pretty well... and its only like 20 bucks...

cheers guys, I was under the impression packing lasted longer than that but as it happens I stripped it last night to find it oiled and black as hell, ill replace it tonight see if it makes a difference.... cheers

Make sure all those perforated holes are clean. Oxy-Acetelene works good to burn all that oil and carbon off.

Hmm mine is probably due a change too....

Not normally too hard. Sometimes requires re-riveting end caps. What muffler has your WR got on it? Standard one wouldn't be 104db surely?
