13. EXHAUST SYSTEM

General information
The exhaust system consists of a muffler installed on the cylinder together with a gasket, a spacer and a 

heatproof baffle.

See the relevant section 

 16]

 for advice on resolving problems related to the exhaust system.

13.1.  Removing and replacing the muffler

1 - Unscrew the two screws (1) securing the AUTO-

CHOKE to the silencer, separating it from the 

exhaust unit.

2 - Remove the two nuts (2) that fix the muffler (3).

3 - Take out the muffler (3) and the heatproof baffle 

(4).

4 - On assembly:

-   thoroughly clean the cylinder contact surface, 

removing all deposits or fragments on the heat-

proof baffle;

-   always replace damaged mufflers;
-   always  replace  the heatproof baffle  (4) if it is 

broken or cracked;

-   tighten the two nuts (2) to the specified levels.
