- Опубліковано 21 кві 2020
- Hi everyone , in this video i'm showing you how to remove a db-killer or silencer on my 2020 Ktm Superduke GT with Akrapovic slip on.
Showing you easy and quick steps how to take the exhaust off and what works best for me when slapping the devil out of the silencer to get the db killer out. Also showing you the sound of my akrapovic before and after the db killer is out but also the sound without an exhaust on it. Trust me , a 1290 Superduke engine without an exhaust is...pretty loud.

Sound is much deeper , more aggressive but not a whole lot louder. Perfect!
Ps : make sure you use some sandpaper on the baffle and make it a little smaller so it fits better when you put it back in.
Sand paper? Really? Will this work on metal?
Thanks for the idea man. Just took out mine yesterday. Cool
Thanks for the suggestion
Didnt think of it before 😂
Good job man
mate your vid helped me out I was struggling with the baffle on my euro 5 akra for my honda forza 750 I tried to pull from the front with some grips and bent a little but a few socket extensions later from the back and it popped out!
Wonder if this can be done to the dead silent Akrapovic stock can on the 2020 1290 R? Never go full regard, lol.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Y E S
Mine had the anti-tamper bolt for the DB killer 😭 Had to take it into a shop to get it out, got bored after a few hours!
Great video. I did just what you did, even with the WD40, though I had to wrap mines in a plastic bag and stick it in the freezer for a few hours. Helps a lot.
I've been running mine without a slip on for few weeks now. Took it off with every intent to replace it, but man the Noiz...
Good luck 👍
Thinking slide hammer, without removing the slip on. Just a thought.
Hi Smokey. Did your Ackrapovic already come with the hole drilled so you could remove the dB killer bolt? Other videos I’ve seen show they have to drill the carbon fibre themselves.
Devonbiker Comes with a hole like i showed you in the video in Europe bud 😎👌
I have superduke 1290r 2022 acrapovich oem. I try to found bolt to remove but no hole at all and if im look inside i dont see bolt . Heating up.and remove? Press fit?
Sometimes you have to drill the hole yourself 😅
Dank je voor de clip! Denk je dat het bij de yamaha mt09 2021 akra uitlaat ook zo is?
Bij mijn kameraad op zijn Mt07 was dat ook soortgelijk werkje ja. Is uitgevoerd door Motorweelde bij Mario 😎
Two of my friends have gone with the de-cat route. Just got a pipe and the de-cat dongle. Both bikes done a few thousand miles now with no apparent problems. Now, they ARE loud! I have bought the Bodis de-cat pipe and the Healtech dongle. Not fitted yet as I want to break in with standard fittings. I know fuel mixture can be lean without the cat. I don’t like that noise limiting exhaust valve though in the cat and the new pipe would solve that problem. What are your thoughts?
I had the full titanium evo line on my 2015 SD-R and i absolutely loved the sound and how loud it was and spitting flames haha. But i bought the GT for some more "touring" style riding. So i don't want it to be way to loud it gets on my nerves when driving longer distances. I also live close to the German boarder and cops in Germany do not fuck around when you have a loud exhaust. Close to the Nurburgring there are always cops checking for loud exhausts. They will stop you , do a db check and when it's over the limit it's a 300$ fine. And now you have 2 options , 1 you put in your db killer AFTER you paid and they will check again. If it's fine you can go on your way. Or option B if you don't have your db killer with you....your bike is not going anywhere anymore. You can call a towtruck and get your bike back over the boarder that way. 😅
I have been trying to find a de-cat pipe for My 2020. Where can I get one ?
busamaster That i don’t know 😊
Ok
busamaster . Many different de cat pipes on the market. I went for the Bodis one as you can re fit the black plate which hides the cat and makes the bike look tidier. Most others you can’t. Got mine off EBay. Same fit as 2019 of course
Stock pipe on mine sounds like ad... pipe. Same db killer inside. May drill it out. Lots cheaper? Anyone done this?
What size was the nut? :)
Love the intro (how did you get that!?!?) Love the new sound even more!! Wonder what an Akro minus decibel killer would sound like on the GS..... hmmmmmm
The Db killer will never make your ears bleed so don’t worry. The growl is alot deeper and it sounds like it breaths better 😁 The intro is a custom animation made for me be a friend. I own a couple of UA-cam channels and we make some animations from time to time. That’s my Suzuki Gsxr 1000 , and the helmet says 103 wich has been my motorcross number for years. 13 Was taken so i picked 103 😁. Couldn’t find a Superduke to animate haha.
Life of Smokey It’s certainly very well done Smokey!! Keep up the content, thoroughly enjoyed going through all the vids last night!
Brett Campany First time i show my face and talk on UA-cam haha. I’m frikking nervous all the time. But it’s good for my English haha.
Life of Smokey: your English is much better, than thousands that live here and call it home 👍🇬🇧
Brett Campany: check out 650ib he has one on his, and loves it❤️
on mine there wasn such a bolt i had to drill myself.
Can you give me opinion between this and new xr 2020?
Nathan Schmidt The XR is a four cilinder sport cruiser , the Ktm is a 2 cilinder high power and very high torque beast that loves to go fast but it has good cruising options to. 2 Totally different engines...both are good. I want more power and fun so i’m more for a 2 cilinder engine 😎
Funny.... I'm not clicking into this video because I have one or any of those 😄 just a huge biker fan 😃
Was de bout die de db killer op zijn plaats houdt niet gepuntlast. Die van mij dus wel.
Nope bij mij niet :-)
Hey smokey what do you think about the 2020 superduke?
Erdem Kucuk It’s the same as 2019 but i have had alot of fast motorcycles including a Superduke T but for some reason this V-twin engine keeps making me a little bit wet between my legs 😂. It’s not the speed because i’m kinda used to that but the way it delivers power , the amount of torque it makes with the sound of the engine is just one scary combination 😁
Nice one Smokey, great tip - do you know if the baffle can be re-installed afterwards if required ?
stephen born yes you can but you need to use sandpaper or something and make the baffle a little bit smaller because you really gotta work for it to get it out with a hamer 😅👌. Good luck! Sound so much better without it.
stephen born: on 13 plate R1cp the little rubber grommets are on the out side of slip-ons and there Allan key m8 or m6 about 15mm long, once out they fit under rear cowl or seat. On a warm exhaust they slip in and can turn to line up fixings. On a cold bike they need a bit of lube, a drip from dip stick. Always carry them with us when out playing, on the off chance we meat a jobs worth, kind of stop. But had NO problems even riding and going round Nurburgring. May be of some help, for ya 👍🇬🇧
The hammered end is crushed, good luck getting it back in, guess you could cut off the damage.
@@stfuliberal same, same.
Or you get some freeze spray; or an ice pack.
Cool down the DB killer, metal contracts... and it'll move like sh!t through a goose(no hammer nor removal required)
Christophe Missinne Damn now that’s a good idea! 😂👌👍
There is only one Christophe Missine and I used to work with him at EAT🤣Fancy seeing you here👍.
I am retired now and own a S1000R and this bike the KTM 1290 GT.

Hiya fella find me on FB
@@steventhompson4948 find me on FB or messenger for a chat mate
Not on FB mate. Hope you are doing ok.
Match better!!!

With the DB killer installed how does the sound compare to stock?
It’s maybe one decibel louder with the db killer out but the sound is way deeper. So not alot louder but it sound way more powerful 😁
Good question. Wish the first guy would have answered it correctly. People don’t even read the question. Anyone else want to try? Sound/decibel level comparison stock vs. Akro with DB killer INSTALLED? Anyone?
What did you do with that dB killer? Send it my way plz ;)
F.P Have to take it with me when going to Germany 🙈. It’s to loud now and i get pulled over in Germany and i can’t shut the beast up that bike is going nowhere anymore. German police are not happy with loud motorcycles 😂
Life of Smokey that is a load of Scheisse 😂 just bought the same exhaust, deciding now if I should decat and remap 🤔
F.P F.P I do not , i repeat , i do NOT recommend going decat 😂🙈. Giant flames will shoot out of it but i’m not kidding , we had earplugs in when we started up the Superduro last week. That Austin Racing is alot shorter then the Akrapovic but still , removing the cat makes it soooo loud 🙈
Life of Smokey eh? (Me pretending to be deaf 😂) I will give it a try just out of curiosity 😅! Thank you for the heads up tho :)
@@f.p1775 You have to try it! Simple as that haha. Upload on youtube and send me link lol
Would sound even better removing the cat and adding an arrow mid-pipe
heykat18 i 100% agree with that 😁. But i live close to Germany and they have the best roads ever. Including The Nurburgring ofcourse 😊. And German police does not f*ck around when they catch you with an exhaust over 94db. It’s not only a fine but they also make your bike illegal to ride in Germany on the spot....bad situation if you’re 4 hours away from home 😅🙈
Life of Smokey when I removed the cat it didn’t increase that much definitely not over 94 dB. The sound was just a deeper rumble and that’s with the silencer removed.
Here is a 6 sec clips so you have a Reference point. ua-cam.com/video/G38YBgiV-xE/v-deo.html
heykat18: your 6sec show, was tha 94db on tick over? Would be nice to hear it at 5to7thou😎😱👍
I just bought and fitted a scorpion Red on my GT. It sounds nice but I'm still curious how it compares to the Akrapovic? Is it worth upgrading? Here's a clip - ua-cam.com/video/PlaIRNz7GLY/v-deo.html
The Akra sound very deep and a little louder then the original one. But still within limits. On most motorcycles i always take the Akra because they sound very deep but not to loud so you can still do alot of miles without getting annoyed by loud noises 😊
@@LifeofSmokey Did you watch my video clip? I know its subjective but how would it compare?
Mod ur cat or remove jt, get an even better sound
Is the same on Akrapovic for Honda xadv 750 2023?
Ik krijg die bout dus niet los in de uitlaat 😂🥲
Is ook een dopsleutel 8 dacht ik. Je hebt ook van die klop schroevendraaiers 😅.
Ohh ik zie nu pas, dat de vorige eigenaar deze heeft vastgelast. Sad...
@@MrSnipershot is origineel vastgelast. Is op de sar ook zo 😁
