1. hi i have recently just bought a yamaha yzf r125 and had a leo vince sbk exhaust system fitted i hear that u can take the baffle out and i wonderd if any 1 can tell me how to take the baffle out there is a allen key bold on the under side of the silencer i remove it but seems to do nothing anythig any help?

2.i never rode the bike with the original exhaust but when i ride with this system on the exhaust pops or back fires sumtimes i am taking it that with the original exhaust system on it would not do this any 1 know why it does with the leo vince on and how i can stop it?

IIRC a set of needle nose pliers and a VERY firm yank pulls the baffle after the allen bolt and maybe the circlip are taken out..

Its not going to sound alot better if im honest, theres a nice lad up the road with one, it does sound semi deep but once he hits say 7k and up, it does just get tinny and semi 125ish...bordering on annoying, but as i say low rev range sounds pretty deep and throaty Smile

The popping and backfire, is that when you roll off the throttle?
When i had my v-twin 125 when i rolled off the throttle @ 6000rpm a nice POP came from the exhaust, bit of flame..on a scorpion can, i think most aftermarket ones do, correct me if im wrong.
Personally, i like it...also using the killswitch produces the same effect, but louder! Not sure if it damages the engine, but it makes me piss myself when you scare people with it! haha Twisted Evil

hope that helps bud

Well the baffle should just come out really, did you not get the manual?

head over to the leo vince site, it should say how to remove
