- This is especially for MERFMAN, but there are some other KDX200
- riders out there who might get off on this.
-
- This an article a buddy of mine wrote about KDX200 silencers...
- I haven't tried this, but I *can* say that the noise level is not
- impacted at all...Although my Answer S/A Pro is quieter than stock
- ANY way, so...
-
- Anyway, for my fellow KDX200 riders, check this out, and MAKE SURE
- you ditch the airbox lid in favor of a 89KX125 lid...There is 3
- HP to be had there believe it or not!!
-
- The stock silencer can be taken apart into three sections:
-
- 1) The front section (closest to the motor) has the baffles
- 2) The middle section is where the packing is located
- 3) The rear section is just a reducer
-
- Take the silencer apart (probably needs to be repacked anyway) I use Answer
- silencer packing, the kit costs about $11.00. Make sure you push the center
- section towards the back of the silencer when removing it, it's kind of
- tricky. Use a pipe or some other round object that fits into the silencer
- and push out the center section using a hammer to hit whatever your using to
- push the section. Back to the baffle section. When you remove this section
- you will see the main pipe come through a plate into a chamber area, there
- will be a second plate with two exit tubes leading to the middle of the
- silencer
- Cut the second plate out by cutting the main tube after it passes through the
- the first plate. This eliminates the baffle. Repack the center section and
- bolt it all back together. You will only use about 1/3 of the packing in
- the kit. Performance wise I was amazed with the difference!! It's the poor
- mans aftermarket silencer....
