So I just bought a Drummer and it came in today. It seems as if there is something very small rattling around in it. I shook it a little and I couldn't get it out. Should I take the end cap off or any suggestions on how to maybe get it out of there? Thanks | ||

My suggestion would be to mount it on the bike and ride it. I bet after a good ride it will be gone. | ||

Thats what I wanted to hear. Thanks tattoo. I mean its very little and i'm sure it will blow out but i'm just making sure it won't damage anything. Bad news is, there's almost a foot of snow on the ground. | ||

did you think about asking kevin?... | ||
| Oxygen151 |
Yeah i thought about that, but he's a busy guy so I figured someone on hear could at least help a little and they did so problem solved. | ||

Open it up....It is hollow so there may be something loose in there. I mean come on, Just a couple of screws and it is open... | ||
| Oxygen151 |
Does anyone know if the end caps are sealed with anything like gasket maker or high-temp silicone? | ||

I bet it's your muffler bearings. It's a known issue with Drummer mufflers. | ||

Bet that Kevin would want you to call him....When I put mine on he was very willing to answer all my questions, and I had a lot. | ||

The bearings from the servo? it sounds like one of two little balls rolling around in there so that makes sense. | ||

and everyone knows you should change the blinker fluid when installing a new muffler. DON'T forget. | ||

You stated one foot of snow,I hope its not to late!!! Did you change your summer air for winter air in your tires?? Sorry,had to.  Its snowing here and it SUCKS. | ||
| Oxygen151 |
Oh ya ill be sure i get around to changing all those out. I dont know what all makes up the interactive exhaust valve. Sorry for asking a question. I will take my questions elsewhere. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Dude, we were joking. My guess is that it's a chunk of weld or piece of metal cut form the stock muffler. It should blow out the end the first time you roll it up to redline. If it doesn't, take the end cap off and fish it out. If there's a further problem after that, call Kevin. He stands behind his products 1000%. | ||

ah shit don't leave, winter time gets the best of us and it doesn't take much te get us goin! stick around, just think the next guys that falls for muffler bearings you'll be part of it. | ||
| Oxygen151 |
Im not leaving i just was trying to figure out if damage could occur if i install it. Im not retarded though. | ||
| Wheelybueller |
Sorry man,Didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Just trying to be funny.  | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Im not retarded though. We are. You'd be hard pressed to damage anything. | ||

I 'm proud to be reter, retart, retarded | ||
| Ustorque |
i would just call Kevin, i'm sure he'd answer all you ?'s with no problem, and tell you the best way to get the pipe apart without damage. | ||

Winter? What's that? It's supposed to be 80 degrees here tomorrow! Two days ago the high was in the 50's! At least when it gets cold up north, it stays cold. You guys need to keep all your cold air from creeping down here. | ||
| Oxygen151 |
Didn't hurt my feelings, i'm just saying this is place to be able to ask any questions you want, dumb or not. | ||

I still remember getting burnt by those muffler bearings when I was 17. Scarred me up for a week or so. Be careful, them bearings ain't no joke.  I ain't retarded, I'm slow, huh? | ||
| Gowindward |
Could be broken or defective power band. From what I hear the Drummers have a much better one than stock. | ||

"Winter? What's that?" That's when we park our bikes in order to do big projects and take on other activities like snowmobiling and snowboarding for a few months.  Hit the hills again on Sunday (gotta love season passes!) and the snow was great! About a 30" soft base and a good 8" of nice powder on top...tasty. | ||

Surely muffler bearings must truly exist. I read about them on the internet so it must be true.  p.s., I didn't mean to call anybody Shirley  On topic: I would definitely give Kevin a call. It could be something as simple as a piece of packing material from shipping. Ya never know until you inquire. | ||
| Oxygen151 |
It's welding splatter. The ends were taped up so its not packing material. I'm not worried about it, im just ready to put it on and for spring to be here. |
