Well,

I decided to go for a bit more rumble. I pulled the baffles which took
some effort for me as I have chronic tendonitis in my elbows which really impairs my grip ability. I did the project in about 30 minutes.

I found that once undoing the allen screws that an allen wrench fit diagonally in
the opening of the end cap in the indent that the caps have. I stuck a crescent wrench on the allen and turned the whole works. I got things loosened up in that manner, and fired up the bike using the pulse vibrations to help loosen the baffle more.

After the end cap had moved out about 1/4 " or so, I used a 6" rectangular block of wood and a hammer to gently tap the baffle loose. ( removed saddle bags)

Sound is somewhat louder but not raspy. It did the trick will post pics and video if possible.

 

Baffle removal in progress

 

 

 

I have the Rounds as well & like the quieter sound but didnt know they were removable for repacking/modification. Thanks for the info.

 

messed up - sorry - delete

One baffle out, the other still intact. I took off the glass wrap on both and reinstalled the
baffle cores.
My iphone feel over - that's the reason for the video funny....

Cheers.

 

MGMMGM - thx for the "how-to"...going for test ride...all good, thx

 

happy...considerably louder idle...

 

I just got my rounds on a couple of days ago and they came with 2 stripped allen screws. I am not happy no clue how to get them out. I noticed that there is a plug in the middle of the baffle Has anybody removed it. Is it a bad idea cause of back pressure??? Looking for more sound.
