    On two stroke bike especially, you have to repack the silencer every so often. The silencer is a perforated tube surounded by a fiberglass material that gets clogged with oil and carbon, so to keep it silencing properly you have to repack it with new material.

    It depends on how much you ride and the 2-stroke mixture. You can tell by ,
    1. it'll be louder.
    2. Oil dripping from the outlet.
    The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it.

    I have used the household pink fiberglass insulation when I restored the bassani I put on my old tri moto 175. It seemd to work great, and I didnt have any problems whatsoever. I would recommend it. I dont see why the packing materials differ much between two stroke and 4, or how they can charge that much for the stuff at the parts store when its such a small bag. Try it, and see what happens for you. I had good results.
