Показать описание

BMW R Nine T has a refined and impressive sounding horizontally opposing twin cylinder engine, but as with most enthusiast vehicles, we want more! In this video, I'm doing my first mod on the bike and the goal is to make the exhaust sound just a little louder and better. I'm removing the DB killers from the Akrapovic mufflers which gives the exhaust note a throatier sound and a lot more depth. I show how to remove the DB killers (exhaust baffle) and the the different of how it sounds before and after giving you more sound for free.

I'd like to add, if you do this, make sure you check those screws after your first ride to make sure they're tight, and probably a few subsequent rides after. I didn't and had one screw work it's way out and is on the side of the road somewhere and 6 others were really loose, I've had my bike a week. These screws retail for $7.50 each from BMW and I haven't found them locally yet. So when he's warning you not to over tighten them with the impact, it's just that so you don't strip them or oil can the ring. But make sure you go back over them with a socket wrench and do the ol' quarter turn past tight, I'm sure there's a torque spec out there for them.

I like that it takes away that ‘sounds like something is loose’ noise.

hehe, i have that bike modell year 2016 witch is an Euro 3 version. DB killya can be easily removes simple by screwing shown in ths video. Sound improvement is really amazing. But later modells beyond 2016 are Euro 4 and 5 and DB-Killya is welded and hard to remove.

Great video and thank you for sharing this useful information. Can I ask you if you noticed any loss of performance after you removed the db killers?

Hello, when you say drill them out on newer bikes, could you please clarify: Do you mean just use a frill to get the bolts out or do you mean literally drill out the bolts?

I just found you, and this is very good information, I have a 2019 r nine T here in the US, I’m looking for a good exhaust but not sure which one to get, but this video is pretty helpful for now, I don’t like the idea of having to drill them out on newer versions. Also, do you have any good website for parts to these bikes, I want to change the rear lights. And do more stuff.

Very good tip. I'll try that on my R9T/719 times while I have to wait weeks for the Jekill&Hyde I ordered.

Needless to say that this is not allowed (here in Germany), or is it allowed in America ...?
Doesn't really matter, because the fun is faster than the police. Don't get caught.

Greetings from Germany.

So the purpose of the DB Killer mod is strictly improving exhaust sound? I'm trying to understand what it even is...

Must be a really old r9t. I have a 2019 and it is welded.

You’ll need a dremel and tons of patience with newer models.

Mine needs to be quieter, not louder. 🙀

Crotch rockets kill a lot of riders. It is only a matter of time until death or injury if you ride.
