Okay..I bet this as been asked a trillion times. I am using a muffler/silencer for a slightly newer KDX on my 84. The end cap/pipe has a bolt and removes and allows you to pull out the endcap/pipe. Do these silencers require packing? I know you drain them from time to time, but I don't see any packing from what I can see inside.
Oh and my rebuilt from the dead KDX RIPS! drum brakes are a bit sketch..but keeps you on your toes..ha

Re: Stock Silencer Packing
How slightly newer??
Got a pic?
1989 - 1994 KDX200 can be repacked.
1995+ can not.
Check out the parts diagrams.
DO NOT pay an arm and a leg for the OEM packing. Buy a bag of the better FMF packing for around $11 or so. It will last a LONG time for the 1989 - 1994 KDX200 or KDX250.

It's an 86. I cut the tabs off and rewelded to fit my 84..
What is the purpose of being able to remove the exhaust tip if you cant pack it?

Re: Stock Silencer Packing
NOT repackable. It is a baffle for sound reduction. Pointing the exhaust and sound down (besides the internal portion) helps out.
