  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

250-500cc Repack WR250-06 Silencer

Hi,

I have just disassembled the silencer on my WR250-06 (which was quite easy with the help of two cars and their pulleys :) ).

My question: There is some kind of Steel Wool wrapped around the inner pipe? Do I need this? Can I re-use it?

Thanks!
 
Never seen steel wool on a 2 stroke silencer before but plenty on 4 strokes
You do not need it and at least if you remove it you can clean the perforated core throughly before putting it all back together.
 
Thanks,

I guess its fiberglass

I removed it all, and cleaned the perforated core with brake cleaner and a steel brush.

So, I will just roll on the new silencer packing "tight enough", and just skip the fiberglass-stuff.
 
Looks steel to me !
Easy way to find out and thats to set it alight :eek: if it burns its steel .
Be aware it can and will really burn so just throw it as I do not want to be held resposable for you burning your house down :D
 
Ok, will try that :cheers:

What is the reason for having both the steel wool AND silencer packing?
I guess the flame protection is out of the question if it burns...
 
While you have it apart you might want to clean cone on the output end if its still in there.
 
Haha I robbed the packing out of my stock WR pipe and "fabricated" a core out of an old spray paint can and then safety wired the packing around it and stuffed it in my girlfriend's Yamaha RT180. I could smell the paint burning off the steel for a while when she rode it. Yuck smelly haha.
