R80GS Basic silencer

A daft question, how do you know if the silencer on your bike is defective (baffles gone)? I have a keihan system but the stock BMW silencer, it looks ok, no rust , leaks etc on the outside but the exhaust is noisy especially under acceleration

The Keihan "Y" WILL make it louder. If you get a bit of "burble" on slowdown when just blipping the throttle, its probably toast.

I put a BSM Y and end can in mine (r100GS), and its nice now. Motor feels smoother too... The Keihan Y is more of a T and does nothing good... IMPO of course.
