i stripped mine out....




just drilled out the rivets, remove the bands, pull the tailpipe end off, then pull the baffle / inlet end off, put the old wadding in the bin, refit and re-rivet inlet / baffle tube end, pack with new wadding (or stainless scouring pads, worked for me Laughing ) pack them down hard with a bit of wood, refit tailpipe end and re-rivet, i used stainless rivets.

most bike shops have wadding in stock and Tesco do the "spontex" stainless scourers Laughing

well the wading that was in my scorpion from the factory was like a half eaton candy floss so would have been about 50p Laughing

i would say the scourers were alot more expensive than the wadding (no idea how much wadding is and have forgotton how much the scourers were Embarassed ) are they any better???? well until i strip mine out again (if i ever need to) i won't know how the scourers have lasted, but everything seems fine now 3000+ miles later.
