Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This DEP Exhaust Silencer is specifically designed for the Honda CR85 models manufactured between 2005 and 2010. Ensure your motorcycle falls within this range before purchase.
Setup:
- Safety First: Ensure the motorcycle is on a stable stand and the engine is completely cool.
- Remove Stock Silencer: Carefully unbolt and remove the original silencer from your Honda CR85.
- Install DEP Silencer: Position the new DEP silencer and align the mounting bracket. Secure it using appropriate fasteners (often new ones are recommended).
- Check Fitment: Ensure there is adequate clearance around the silencer and it does not interfere with any other components.
- Final Tightening: Once positioned correctly, tighten all mounting bolts securely.
Care:
- Cleaning: The polished alloy outer can should be cleaned regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.
- Inspection: Periodically check all mounting bolts and connections for tightness. Inspect the silencer body for any signs of damage or excessive wear.
- Sound Dampening: Over time, the internal packing material may degrade. If you notice a significant increase in noise or a decrease in performance, the silencer may require repacking (consult DEP or a specialized shop for guidance if needed).
