help with leo vinci exhaust.

Put the pipe on the bike & it is too quite. Leo tech support is closed. Has anyone removed the evoII silencer? Pipe is a sbk with a carbon jacket.  

    yep the silencer is easy
there is a rubber plug in the can at the bottom right at the discharge.
pull the plug then you will see the screw to take the silencer out.

at least that is how the silencer came out of mine for my 600RR

The leos on my Aprilia had a one way bolt. You had to take them out with a pair of pliers.

Thanks guys. The silencer was in really tight. I wanted to make sure I didn't do anything stupid first. I ended up making a slide hammer with a piece of all thread to get it out. But it's out & sounding much better.  I'm wondering if I cheesed it on the install though
I disconnected the cables off the exhaust valve but I left the wiring connected. Is this going to cause the ecu to think the vavle is working & give the wrong air fuel mix?   
   

I found my answer in a search. Looks like I'm good for now.
Thanks again

Does anyone know how to unhook the cables on the 07 , it is somewhere under the battery..  or just secure them at the valve side somewhere?

        the servo is beside the trunk release near the battery
 hex head bolts under the seat to get it out of the bike
just trace the cables to where it goes under the undertail.  then right above that in the battery box is the servo

    here is a pic of my 600RR with the leo vince and the silencer. the bolt sticking up into the pipe from the bottom is the one that holds the silencer in

Thanks baxsom. do you also have to disconnect the battery and remove it to get to it?

Yes. Then you can get to the nut. The bolt has a square shaped head that is held in place in the plastic by this square shape.  It will drop out from underneath once you get the nut off.  I disconnected the release cable for the seat at the seat.  & got the whole thing out of the way. 
 
In answer to your second question back.
 
The valve will be coming off the bike as an assembley with the muffler.
(cables connected).
 
 

    no

 My bad. Thinking about it there isn't enough depth for that 2" bolt to have been under the battery. 
 Thanks for keeping it short.
How's this? 
Don't jack with the valve unless your changing the pipe. 
 

thanks guys, i'll be doing it in a cpl of weeks when i get the slipon

Did you decide on what kind yet? The Leo is kind of raspy up top. (my opnion)
