Removing Akrapovic baffles
DIR By: Eire+01

---------------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to get the baffles out to change them.
The 3 screws come out no problem but that large collar that
holds the baffles in just won't budge.
Tapping it with a wooden drift doesn't release them.
I've tried it with the exhausts both hot and cold.
Any tips anyone?

they should just pull off could try starting it with the 3 bolts
out just get some help in case it falls out onto the floor you
could try putting a hammer handle inside and give it a good
wobble if you get them out put copper slip on the back of the
collars

Running the engine doesn't budge them at all.
Those collars seem to have welded themselves in.
Wiggling a hammer around inside might do it all right.
I was also thinking some sort of sliding hammer set up.
I don't want to damage the inside of the baffles though.
WD40 wouldn't react with the titanium would it?

Go a head with the WD40 wont hurt them just wipe any lose spray
up then leave over night tap them with a mallet not a hammer
they will come off

If some one still has their Akra`s off the bike - Can you
measure the dimensions of the graphite gaskets ..... I don't
have them and need to buy them but don`t know the dimensions
....If you know from where I could buy them thats even better !
Will the stock ones work ? ??? ::) :'(

forget to put some copper grease on the backs and bolts when you
put them back on

Yep, already done, cheers.
Anybody interested in buying my modified baffles?
Suberb deep sound and makes the backfire sound like a high
velocity rifle shot.
Half the length of standard and about 30% wider bore.
I got them machined in Germany years ago. Not the ones from
Stage3 in Hungary.
I'll try and post a pic later.
