| Part 2 - Putting the baffles back in correctly |
Please check out our KYMCO Venox - Exhaust Pipe Muffler Baffle Modification page for information on how to make your Venox sound louder and better. You'll find videos demonstrating the modification as well as how your bike will sound after the work is done (here).
The KYMCO Venox benefits from some nice thick exhaust pipes that accentuate the deep tune of the 90-degree V-Twin engine. It’s easy to make the bike sound even louder. You can really wake up the sound of the bike by modifying the baffles to let the exhaust escape more freely. This guide will walk you through the process in 5 Steps.
The baffles are what reside within exhaust pipe, which limit the noise that the motorcycle produces. Some people will drill the baffles out completely but this is not recommended. Removing the baffles completely would remove back-pressure to the engine, which is harmful to your motorcycle’s performance and engine life, often resulting in a seized rear cylinder.
Assuming you already have a drill and drill bit, or can borrow one, you’ll need less than $5 in parts:- Hand drill
- 5mm drill bit
- 2 x 5mm lug nuts
- 2 x 5mm screws (15mm in length)
- Half dozen washers
- 2 x 5mm nuts
- Some sort of pry bar or a long, flat head screwdriver
Here’s what you need to do:
- Grab a drill and a 5mm drill bit and begin drilling through the rivets
-
When you remove all of the rivets the lid should fit loosely. Removing the baffles will be a little difficult; you'll need to pry around the edges patiently and carefully so as not to scratch your exhaust pipes.
A little sample of what you’ll see with the baffles removed. Remember, leaving the baffles out will have a detrimental effect on your motorcycle’s health, so we want to put them back in before running the engine.
