How do you remove the spark arrestor? Is it pretty easy? What are the advantages and disadvantages of taking it out?

 

Very easy to remove, there is one hex head screw in the back end of your muffler on the bottom. Take it out, you might need a pair of pliers to pull out, and twist the exhaust tip to work it loose, then just pull it out. Once you get it out you'll be able to see the advantage of removing it. It is extremely restrictive, eating up a lot of your power. Plus is sounds a lot better without it. There really isn't any disadvantages to having it out, unless you ride in parks that require one. If so there is an aftermarket type arrestor, i'm not sure who makes it, but I believe you can get it at rockymountainatv .com. It is a lot less restrictive than the stock version. Have fun.

 

I'm having a hell of a time getting mine out.......Is the entire end supposed to some off or just the small 3/4" diameter tip? Can you send me a quick picture?

I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
