I have a mod that I preformed on my KLR as well as several others. I do not have photos but the instructions are very simple to follow. The muffler does not have to be taken off of the bike> (sounding better already, huh?):clap:
Tools and parts:
11/4 inch hole saw
Drill motor
2" piece of 11/2" exhaust pipe.
Tapered bar or simular object.
OK, Chuck up the hole saw and place it over the existing outlet port on your muffler and cut it out. The metal is thin and will pop right through.:shock:
Jam the tapered bar into the existing exhaust outlet and start wiggeling it around and around and around.
DO NOT TWIST. This piece of exhaust pipe is approx. 7" long and is spot welded 2-3 times to a raised ring inside the muffler.:wi:
Once this perforated pipe breaks loose remove it and start your motor and blow packing all over the floor. This will give you a great feeling of accomplishment. Hee hee.:dr:
Now, take the 2" piece of exhaust pipe and cut one end at a SLIGHT angle. This will allow you to direct the exhaust downward as well as away from the bike.
Now cover the plastics with wet towels, etc and tack weld it in at least three spots, get a rattle can of BB-Q black paint and you are done and tweety left with it.:tup:
This has no effect on the spark arrester as it is further inside the muffler. What you have accomplished is a moderate mod to the muffler and relieved some pressure, deepened the sound a little and if you have performed other mods such as the air box, air/fuel adjustment you should be smilin' when ridin':ss:
