I had the same problem, carbon cap would not come off after removing rivets, so i had to drill carbon cap.

Hey! You think would be fine to run the exhaust with the dB killer on without bolting them?
@gravelroadslovenia17 күн бұрын
I assume they would stay in for some time because the fit is very tight but I do always bolt them in. For the matter of fact they can only be properly put in with a hammer and pulled out with pliers... If you plan to put them in and out often, you don't need the bolts I assume.

So the carbon cap doesn’t come out? Do they sell titanium rivets?
@gravelroadslovenia5 ай бұрын
I heard it is possible to remove the carbon however in my case it was not possible. Rivets cannot be purchased from Akrapovic directly, however I did find a company that was their supplier. The ones they use are watertight and of stainless steel. They are identical.

@@gravelroadslovenia any chance you can send me the link for the rivets. I think I’ll try to remove the cap as first, as I don’t want to make holes. Thanks

@@v.gousis2241 the company is called Pnevmotex d.o.o, and the type of rivet you need are "blok zakovica rf 4.8 X 8 ZAPRTA". If they will refuse shipping it to you let me know and we will work something out. When drilling the holes you will need a high end drill bit. Installing the rivets also requires a professional tool since they are too strong to be clipped in with a classic hand tool. Since I went through the process I would strongly recommend avoiding what you are planning to do. Drill the holes in the carbon and get the rubber covers from Akrapovic, it still looks good.

Hello, Nice work :D How did you make the hole? What type of drill did you use to make the hole?
@gravelroadslovenia9 ай бұрын
I made the hole using a cone drill bit. Then I went around with a Dremel to smoothen the edges (normal sandpaper should work too).

@gravelroad have you had any issues with the bike since you removed the db killers? I've read these engines run lean to meet emissions and removing the db killer can cause it to run too lean
@gravelroadslovenia11 ай бұрын
No issues at all. It has been running like so for the bast 10k km. I have a friend that has done 20k km like this with no issues either.

u could use Self Adhesive Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrap Tape to cover the holes 😉i like the stock look and sound. if i want louder exhaust ill get another one before i destroy (aka modify) the original Akra.

I completely agree with your perspective. Not to mention how easily it can get damaged when off-roading. I have another stock exhaust on me, thats the reason I didn't get something else.

Cant you just put a piece of black tape of the holes? It probably seals it. The carbon doesn't really get that hot?
@gravelroadslovenia Жыл бұрын
In the summer it does. I'm not sure how the tape would hold up. If you replaced it regularly, should probably work.

@@gravelroadslovenia are you planning to make ajustments to the exhaust placement? We have the same bike, with the nice akrapovic. But its so vulnerable on the side! what are your thoughts?
@gravelroadslovenia Жыл бұрын
@@Townmaking Not really. I protected the carbon with 3M Paint Protection Film and put a rubber silencer protector on the exhaust (check Aliexpress). For hard enduro I put the original exhaust back on. The swingarm is protected by the 3D Moto Carbon Kevlar cover, however the ones from Acerbis work well too. This combination does the trick for me.

@gravelroadslovenia Жыл бұрын
I did not notice any change in performance for the better or worse, with the exception of reduced engine braking. However if you were to remap the ECU without the db killers you surely would get a power gain.
