Quiet down the Beast-Looking for baffle/damper


Recommended Posts

Hey Gang, I bought a 02 wr 426 and love the power. I do however need to quiet her down for when I need to ride behind the neighborhood. The previous owner removed the muffler insert I think its called a baffle? Does anyone have one that they removed that they want to sell or donate to a fellow rider?

Also, will I need to change the jetting or anything else when I reinstall the insert? The PO changed the main to a 170 and it is running fine now. I would like to be able to use it when necessary and pull when it isn't but only if it doesn't require a jet change or any other tweaking.

Thanks Gang!

I dont know if you have welding knowledge. but I did cut mine up and removed the stock insert and made another that I now can take out and put in depending on where I ride and the only tool I need is a 10mm wrench(one 6mm bolt).

You probably will need to go down a main jet size with insert in and possibly lower the needle a clip too. But get the insert and try it before you 'mess with the jets'. Suddenly, I see Natalie Wood in my head......

lowering the clip raises the needle thus making the jetting fatter not leaner
