06specialedition Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 This mite be a dumb question but thought I'd throw it out there anyways. I bought my CPI inframes used. One of the silencers leaks oil out of a small bolt on the canister...its a small leak and takes an hour or so to start, but with lots of hard riding it starts dripping on my axle and shit. I have to constantly be wiping oil from the silencer. I've tried pulling the bolt and putting rvt on the threads...and that didn't work. I called CPI and they said to pull the bolt and put red lock tight on the threads...and that didn't work. I'm really starting to get sick of this, and thinking about buying a new silencer. Any suggestions?!? Thanks -ZACH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshee Chad Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Try some pipe dope, or plumbers tape? Or drop the silencers and go stingers only... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Two things come to mind. First is that your packing is soaked . Second is to completly clean the area of all oil then use rvt or loctite , might even be leaking where "nut" is spot welded to can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll find a set of silencers to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedd1 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Have you repacked them? If not, give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Seal the silencet end caps with rtv too. If you rtv ed the threads it isn't coming through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrMeyer Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Its from the oil not being fully burnt off. I have the same thing happen to me all the time if im pussy foot'n my bike around. Now if im at the dunes riding the piss out of it then I dont have the prob. But your prob in need of a repack. I try to repack mine every year.
