Akrapovic dB killers removal - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Hi,

Anyone with Akrapovic slip-ons know how to remove the dB killers?

I removed the small hex bolts that hold the killers in but can't get the inserts out without damaging them or the actual exhaust outlet.

Much thanks in advance!

Remove the bolt, grab with pliers and yank 'em out!

Unless they are damaged or rusted, they easily came out.

I had a lot of trouble getting mine out too I had to make a special tool to get them out plus the hex bolts were tack welded it was a real pain. if you get them out and want to sell them I will buy them.

I'm finding mine to be a royal pain in the a**. Could you please describe the tool you made?

I ended up stripping the internal hex of one of the two screws. I don't know where to get Akrapovic spare parts- do you?

Thanks very much

No I dont know where to get spare parts I would like to know too. I found some new screws at a bolt store. Are both stuck or just one? If you can get one out then you might understand how to make the tool. I'll try to explain

3/8'' steel rod 15'' long with threads on one end just enough for a nut to screw on, cut a small notch in the other end then make a slight bend 8'' from the threads( about 1.5'' ) then another small bend going the other direction at the end where the notch is . It will kinda look like a slight s turn then find a big socket and slip on to the rod and push the rod into the muffler turn it until it catches on to the end of the db killer inside the pipe and give the socket a big hard slide against the nut kinda like a auto dent puller then it will pop out.

Only on after-market pipes that you get. There aren't any dB killers on the standard pipes. Sorry.

Actually, (in saying that) you can get a de-baffle done, Wolfman http://www.fz6-forum.com/forum/members/wolfman.html has had it done and it's sounds pretty cool, if you are looking to make a bit more noise.
(note, this is down in Oz, but I'm sure there are plenty of folk that do it all over the world).
