I need help!
I`m riding a GSX600F(1999),(not for long today bought a GSXR600K5) and i am to part ex the old bike for the new one, however i`ve got a demon rattle i think in the exhaust. Someone told me it sounds like the baffler plate. WHAT`S A BAFFLER PLATE?
I don`t want to pay a fortune to get this problem resolved, so has anyone got any ideas to sort this problem out????
Many thanks

Baffle is the pipe that runs up the centre of your exhaust can, its probably just worked loose. Try slapping it to see where the noise is, then take it off and screw a self tapper or something in to stop it. You could also pack it out with a bit more wadding, its cheap, you can buy it at most bike shops, but its usually even cheaper at off road/motocross shops. I’d go for the self tapper option meself if your getting rid of it.

BTW if your can is riveted at each end, and you need to get into it, just drill them out and replace them, its an easy job. One of your mates will have a hand riveter I’m sure, but they’re not expensive. You might be able to get the self tapper in without taking it apart anyway.

On second thoughts…why fix it ? If the shop has seen it and taking it as part exchange, then let them worry about it.

I agree with Madsrad, its the dealers problem now. Don’t worry about it, they’ll slap £500 – £1000 on the asking price and should give it a full service before selling it.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, VODKA in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!
It could be a very young demon being pushed in a pram by its mum and went passed your bike when you went to the shop and the little bugger has pushed his rattle down your pipe.They are always doing it.Dont worry about it,the dealer will sort it.
Take it easy out there
