Akrapovic Baffle DB Killer Removal (The Easy Way) BMW R1250R! Unleash the Beast!

Just a quick shout out to my Friends at Webbs Motorcycles. Webbs motorcycles is a fantastic shop offering a huge range of motorbikes, riding apparel and accessories. They have physical shops in Peterborough and Lincoln and fantastic online store. (Link Below)

Right so let's get to it. The Akrapovic exhaust was ordered from a factory order and came fitted on my 2023 R1250R BMW. Some key bullet points below regarding this video.

-Always do you own research on things like this and make your own decision as to if to do this or not. There are many other sources of information out there.

-If in doubt, it may be worth speaking to a professional mechanic or a BMW dealer.

-I'm not 100% sure on where you stand with warrantee on either the bike or the exhaust if you do this.

-Personally I felt no difference in performance however this is a link that takes you to the akrapovic website where it shows there is a slight difference. Follow the link then click on performance graph.

- When drilling the carbon be very careful. I did not put hardly any pressure on the drill... I let the drill do the work and drilled at a slow to slow/medium speed.

- I started doing this job with the mindset that I was prepared for it to go wrong. At the end of the day it's a very expensive bit of kit and you have to mindful that changing or doing an
thing like this may cause issues, excess strain on the motor, warrantee issues among other things.

- Finally, It sounds tremendous! I love it and the baffles will be staying out. I hope the video helps you make your choice if to do this or not and sorry about all the disclaimers.

Haven’t herd that term for donkeys years (take the baffles out) sounds meaty mark, before and after would be cool, maybe a short 😉

Thanks for the video. BTW do you have the Sport seat on tour bike?

[effyzzr]

Surely it is much quicker and easier to drill out the rivets remove the carbon cap then unbolt the baffle then receiver back the cap??

[bencook]

Are the rubber bungs not to cover the bolts that you can unscrew to remove the baffles??

[nickhignett]

Great video mark very helpful👍🏻, I think the torque settings are for the exhaust to the frame is 19nm and the clamp is 24 nm

Hello, thanks for the video but I'm also questioning on why don't you only remove the rivets to avoid damaging the carbon ? According to your pictures at the beginning of your video, you have removed it.. Wouldn't it have been easier to remove it instead of drilling it ?

[walker]

Can you tell me where you ordered that from?

[rafalsz]

Nice video mate. Did you replaced the whole exhaust, the full system (exhaust and header pipes)? Or did you just do the slip on exhaust?
TIA

[QSpeedRacer]

I was going to drill the rivets out and remove cap. And then buy rivet gun. But maybe i should just drill the carbon. Though one guy with my bike said he could break the welds and stripped the bolt

[LL-vefb]

Why don't you only remove rivets to remove the carbon piece instead of drilling it ?
We can see that you took some picture when it was off at the beginning of your video.
Wouldn't it have been easier to remove the carbon piece before drilling it or don't drill it at all ?

WTF is everyone aversion to drilling out rivets ? At least my muffler doesn't have ugly looking rubber bungs in the end cap.
