Zard Monster baffle removal

[glenmonster]

Hi everyone,

Returning member here who has just bought a s2r1000 in the UK. I have a full set of Zard up high pipes and wanted to know if anyone has any tips on removing the baffles from them. The pipes are shown below and have 3 cylinders inside the can (1 centre and two which are very close in diameter). A removable screw was attached between the can and the two outer cylinders, but I have not been able to remove them with pliers an elbow grease (I am guessing it is only the two outer that can be removed).

Any help is really appreciated.

thanks, glenmonster

I have a complete Zard 3 into 1 on my Speed Triple. Sounds great and I wouldn't want it any louder.
The only way to remove the guts is to drill out three rivets.
I thought about doing it for about 3 minutes and came to my senses and left it alone.

I believe that for most of the world the ZARD baffles aren't removable (easily at least). They are tac welded into place as well as the single bolt that comes from the underneath of the silencer end cap. You should be able to see the tack weld in there. If you grind the weld you should be able to then pull the baffles out by grabbing the inner stainless tube with a pair of pliers. The inner two tubes are the baffle while the outer one is all that will be left once you remove the baffle.

If is not tack welded all you have to do is unbolt the single bolt on the bottom of the end cap and slider the baffle out as described above.
