Quick question,

I removed the baffle and its holding screw/washer but heard something rattle down the end can upon removal. I know it can only be another washer at most, but is it okay to just leave it be?

Bike in question is a vfr800i. I can dig out a large magnet tomorrow but surely all it can do is sit at the bottom and not travel anywhere??


Cheers.

Why not just hold your bike in the air and shake it till it comes out?

If you rev it hard enough it'll shoot out of the can. Fact.

Why not just train a group of 6 to 8 ants and send them in to retrieve the washer. Obviously if its a large washer you may need to train 10 or 12 ants.

Dont make the same mistake most people do and send un-trained ants to do jobs on your bike as they will probably just fuck something up and it will end up costing you a fortune.

If the ants cant do the job just take it to a dealer and let them know the good old ant trick did not work.

The time it would take to hand pick my ants based on trials, train them respectively and get them in with some form of extraction would out weigh the reward of having a washer placed in my hand.

I'll go with the rev it like a c*nt trick. Thumbs Up Wink
