Some post-race season R&R.
Time to repack the silencer.
The photos show slicing the outer then the inner wrapping.
While it looks all shiny and oil in the photo, to my naked eye, it looked pretty good. The baffle holes were not clogged.
FMF stuffs a lot of packing in there. The outer layer is a criss-cross fiberglass mat that I have seen in shops. Inside of that is the thread-like wrap that covers the inner baffle.
I didn't buy either type. Instead I have just a thick, white mat of MSR packing ($8).
As well, there is a portion of the old backing deep in the endcap-side of the baffle. I know from experience that this can get clogged and hurt revs, but I think that it is in pretty good shape and I just don't want to fool with it.
