  1. any idea? piccis? ta
     
  2. Usually a grub screw in them undo it and pull them out, may help to get it warm if they're wedged in there
     
  3. cant see any screw inside and cant feel any either - looks like there is one to top but dunno how to get to it

    do i possibly have to remove plastic/rubber cap on outside and go at it that way?
     
  4. Are you sure they're in there?
     
  5. Never had the baffles in mine but the screw to remove them is behind the rubber grommet.
     
  6. Lol yes there's some screws underneath the rubber grommets you can see at the top of the exhausts!
    I had to fit some baffles recently at a track day....what a pain in the ass for what they are.
    The screws have washers underneath them too. As they are vertically aligned, as soon as you unscrew them they are all likely to fall into the exhaust carbon covers unless you have magnetic bits. Luckily someone at the track day did!

    Anyhow to remove the baffles,
    Take off the rubber grommets
    Use an Allen key, maybe 5mm? To undo and remove the screws and washers.
    Then wiggle out the baffles.
    Replace grommets

    Another idea to stop the screws falling in is to put a bit of glue at the tip of the Allen key. But the washers may still fall in.
    Easier when the exhausts are off!
    Enjoy!
     
  7. If you have the akra baffles and dont want them, lemme know.
     
  8. Best buy some ear plugs. My ears always end up ringing all day after a good ride. Make sure they are pushed well in too.
     
  9. Cheers All - after a wee wrestle they are out. The grub screws however are lost in the cans somewhere - fully compensated by the noise!
    More “Ducati” :upyeah::upyeah::upyeah::upyeah:
     
  10. Haha told you!
    The good news though is that I dropped mine many times into the cans. But if you have a magnetic telescopic thing...you can get them out pretty easily..
     
  11. And of course....the noise fully makes up for it!!!
