To pack or not to pack

I have a kx250f 07, how often does anyone suggest that the silencer needs repacking???

I'm no expert on four strokes, but I thought for the most part, they don't need to be repacked. That is a 2 stroke thing due to oil saturating the packing.

Dang, I thought this was going to be a handgun thread.

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you on the packing. I would be curious as well.

So sorry, didnt mean to freak you out. Thought about after I submitted it. I was thinking more like shakespere or something

Texas ain't that rough. You just have to learn to deal with all their crazy ummm...... How should I say this.

Crazy improvisations! Yeah, that's it.

Well...

4 strokes generally have a much higher exhaust temperature. This in turn burns little bits of packing every time you ride. Usually I'd say replace it every 10 hours or so of riding. If you knock on the side of the canister and it sounds hollow, you need to repack.

I had a link to something like that somewhere, I'll edit it in when I find it.


EDIT : To Jedi, He's not a Texan, he doesn't have the boots... or the hat .

EDIT 2 : Found it.
