  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

TE 450 2010 repacking the exhaust

Does anyone know how to dismantle the silencer on a 2010 TE450? This is a standard one not an Arrow. I have removed the front rivets, and the whole alumminium can, end piece and inner baffle slips off. This leaves the inner stainless steel can, which has a perforated tube inside running down its entire length. There seems to be no way of getting the can apart to pack it with wadding. I have pulled it , twisted it, hit it with a mallet, and it seem to be welded up as one unit.
The factory manual says drill out the end rivets and only remove the end cone, but the picture shows what looks like an Arrow exhaust not a standard one. It also doesn't show any pictures of the exhaust when dismantled, or how and where to put the wadding.
Am I doing something wrong, or is it not possible to repack a standard exhaust?

I have the Arrow and it is one piece, enclosed by the stainless wrapper. I had to cut it apart to get it repacked and after i repacked it, it was no quieter, I ended up putting the Euro silencer baffle in it and achieved the quietness I was after, and wished I had not cut the guts open.

Post a pic of your inner, removeable baffle, is it smaller than this one?

Yes that's the length in mine, not 100% sure it's the same detail, will check tomorrow. The one listed in the parts manual is only a stubby thing about 1 1/2 - 2 inches long.
I didn't think my bike was too noisy until I did the Welsh 2 day enduro, and I got a warning from the scrutineer that my noise levels were very high. Although there is a lot of induction noise on these bikes when the power up kit is fitted.
 
Any one done this yet???

Had mine since brand new '2011' and last few rides felt the exhaust getting louder. Slight loss of pwr maybe to.

But yeah took the alloy cover of and cant seem to separate the muffler from the end pipe. One end is welded the other is sealed. Been working the gasket glue free and been trying to hit the pipe out through the muffler but just can't separate them?? Surely they would be service able units??
