mods on Silencing exhaust

spyderx17 · 07-14-2007, 09:46 AM

I just bought a ke 175 2 stroke kawasaki and the bike is soo loud one of my neighbors said that fiberglass packing rolled up tight and stuffed in there should work? if that works how do i do it and what else will work i need something that does not involve getting a new exhaust its not worth it for this bike thanl you in advance

first off, do u ride a kx125 because i didnt think they made a 175. as far as the noise, google "silencer packing" for a kx125 or watever and buy that and u will easily be able to put it in.

You can usually go down to the local mx shop and get some packing. Usually you can just drill out the stock rivets that hold the silencer together, re-pack it and then re-rivet it back together.
