Thank you!!!

Cheers!

Thanks for watching ...and learning!

Thank you!

Thanks for the kinds words. We appreciate it!

@@YoshimuraUSA send me address and phone number please I’ll be sending my exhaust to you

Thank you so much! I hope we can win you over one day to our systems!

@@YoshimuraUSA i'm down for trying new things so it is really possible that i'll try your exhaust system one day 😁

Glad we could help!

What about this? www.yoshimura-rd.com/products/builder-series-tri-muffler-kit-95sxx111700?variant=40551187808359

Good call!

is it supposed to be quieter?

@@Kevin.OBrien44 as a general statement, yes!

When you are ready, we are!

Not correctly.

@@YoshimuraUSA Okay thanks for the clarification, are there different kinds of rivet guns or just pneumatic?

@@davidpirro1326 Pneumatic is the best way. Harbor freight is a cheaper option. Home Depot, Lowes al have them.

@@YoshimuraUSA Awesome, thanks so much for the help!

@@YoshimuraUSA And what about those drill bit riveters?

good luck!

I got it off. Job is done. Nice tip about the weights.

LOL!

Yeah I think I will do it

Easy

We can repack it! Give us a call!

Yoshimura R&D of America, Inc. ok thanks I don’t have to yet but when I have to I’ll let you guys do it probably.

A commercial hand rivet gun will work fine… most local hardware stores don’t offer that option and instead sell light duty rivet guns that are suitable for aluminum or small 1/8 “ rivets. If you can manage enough grip strength to pull a 2/16 stainless rivet with a standard manual gun I ihave yet to see on not destroy the jaws by either stripping the gripping ridges or outright breaking the mandrels. The pneumatic guns sold at places like Harbor Freight have plenty of HP to pull the mandrel and are durable enough for occasional use.

@@YoshimuraUSA which brand of pneumatic rivet guns were you guys using in this video? I noticed 2 different types. Thanks!

@@crawfordd17 The brand doesn't matter, the consistency and ease of pulling the stem of the rivet is key.

Yes you can use a screwdriver, but we would recommend something a little more blunt like the end of a broom handle etc. That packing that was installed back when your muffler was made is no longer available.

@@YoshimuraUSA thanks for the reply but I was wondering if there is a possibility to get in contact with one of tech guys who can assure me that I did it the correct way cause I’m not convinced that it’s done properly , if feel less resistance in the muffler and more pressure but still feel vibration from the aluminium housing when I rev the bike 🙄

@@florrevansteenkiste maybe its better you send to us for repacking...call us 800-634-9166

We don't work on and we cannot recommend cutting down the canister.

@@YoshimuraUSA ok, thx for your reply

We make a spark arrestor for it. SA-19-L that will decrease the dB nicely!

please call us 800-634-9166

You can remove the sound insert.

I've seen people cut them down in length and put the end of the can back on, it won't be an insane amount of change but it'll be a bit louder.

@@cultofeyes7260 We completely do not recommend cutting your muffler down.

@@YoshimuraUSA naah its a great idea 🤣

Erm, remove the baffle?

We can fix it or you can fix it. www.yoshimura-rd.com/collections/muffler-end-caps

The kit that is spec'ed for your bike

We don't make 2 stoke silencers so we cant say...

yes! Call us with any questions

if you run less packing it will heat up the components inside the muffler and compromise them. We would NOT recommend this at all!

Use the Alpha!

One MILLION dollars!

We recommend using only Yoshimura components.

There ya go!

Besides your bike not running right, it being loud as heck and the muffler could literally explode no downside.

haha!

Pneumatic will save you a lot of headaches and is a better tool for the job

@@YoshimuraUSA what about a battery powered riveter?

@@HighGrade_FireBlade never used one.

If you follow the instructions with our repack kit you will know (if its the correct kit) that you packed the muffler to tight. Give us a call if you need help. 800-634-9166

@@YoshimuraUSA Followed your instructions but the thing is you dont sell a repack kit for a 2022 yz250f rs-12. Hard to buy the right kit if you don't sell one. So I was told by your sales to buy a different one that came with 2.5lbs of packing and to weigh out 2.1lbs. Of course this kit also came with exhaust graphics fthat is different and doesn't look the same as the rs-12. No mention anywhere in the instructions about packing it to tight so how would I know if I packed it to tight? After emailing customer support they told me to just add more which sounds like now was the wrong thing to do. Dont know because you didnt answer the question. It would have been nice if you just answered the question instead of implying I did something wrong and bought the wrong kit and didn't follow instructions. Now I am worried it is packed to tight after following your supports advice. So I am going to ask again so if someone else has this problem they will know the answer, is it normal for that inch gap to be there if I weighed out the correct amount?

@@rstephen001 The packing kit that is for your bike is here docs.yoshimura-rd.com/REPACK-RS12-MX.pdf and contains 2.2lbs of packing material as well as hardware and decals for the most current version of your muffler. Note: Your system was originally packed with 2.1lbs of the same material. We do recommend in our instructions to use the whole amount of material which is less that 5% over... This is a negligible difference to overpack and really only adds a couple ounces of weight and increases durability. From experience we can say its easier to pack a system too tight than it is to pack it too loose. Too loose leaves you with extra material, too tight leaves space when you are done, and neither are ideal. For the best results we recommend you remove the packing and re stuff the muffler evenly adjusting the density of the packing to finish the job with the packing evenly distributed from the front to the back of your muffler's sleeve. Hope this helps. If you have any other issues please call in and we will try to fly you in for a safe landing...

@@YoshimuraUSA Thank you for the response. Not sure why I was told to buy the adv kit by your sales guy Don then. You also need to update your kits information on your website to show which kit is for yz250f. Currently even that mx kit does not list the yz250f as a bike that the kit is for which I'm guessing is because it technically isn't. It is already put back together so I am not going to rebuy another kit to get new rivets that I would need to repack it again. It would be nice if you sold a kit that came with the correct amount of packing for the yz250f, would have been a lot less hassle and confusion. It seems like the rs-12 for the yz250f was an afterthought with it being literally the only bike that doesn't have its own repack kit and your sales people giving out wrong information on what kit should be used for it.

Yes it does!

yes.

Absolutely!

Hell no you don't, manual rivet gun achieves the same thing. Really guys !

@@1kory883 I did mine with a regular rivet gun and hardware store rivets 20k miles ago. No problems

yes

depends on the sevarity of the dent. If we cant fix it we can put a new sleeve on it!

@YoshimuraUSA I tried reaching out directly by email but DON won't respond back ...I see no sleeve kit on the website

@@GENX80. we don't have sleeve kits per se. It's a part number in our list of components. Call us and talk to Joyce. She rocks!

@YoshimuraUSA already got it mailed off DON pulled through

Absolutely not!

@@YoshimuraUSA why is that??

Bummer!

Certainly makes the job a ton easier. Popping the spec rivets need to be tight.

You can use Google to convert the weight...

We have been doing it wrong all these years :(

It's him!

We don't recommend that. that will void any warrantee as well.

That's for sure! We see a lot of burnt out mufflers that do not get proper maintenance.

Yoshimura R&D of America, Inc. I pulled mine off my fourwheeler and 90% of the packing was gone

@@lucassturgin8710 better repack it or get it in to us!

Yoshimura R&D of America, Inc. I already repacked it

We have built and rebuilt countless mufflers over the course of almost 70 years in business, interesting we would "mess up a muffler."

I just did 2 of my bikes DO NOT TAKE OUT THE RIVETS

@@codyray8754 then how the hell did you pack it?

@jamesnorth7318 you can get a rubber mallet and you can knock it loose and you slide it back together it's alot simpler than this dude trying to make it. Just look for another video bc I didn't have to do none of this
