I’m considering one of these for my bike, but am getting confused by what I see on eBay. Some have a carbon heat shield and some do not - should I care? And while I personally have no desire to remove the baffle, I see there are some where I could and others where it’s fixed. |

Just bought a very nice end can for my 1250. Called a dominator, cannot post links, but it is dominator(dot)pl |

I removed the carbon shield to remove the can and never bothered refitting it. Makes for quicker wheel removal. Only 2 screws +5.
Carpe Diem!

I did run one without the baffle for a while, but in urban situations it's a little loud for my taste . . . baffle in, and you get a good rumble, and a real bark from the bike upon starting. EU4 regs meant that baffles are supposed to be fixed and non removeable for e-marked exhausts - several manufacturers get around this by tack welding a fixing bolt that can be easily removed. EU3 standard exhausts were fine to have removeable baffles. Selling many farkles as the RS is departing . . . |

Zitat von jozza66 im Beitrag #5 jozza66 covered it pretty well. Go down the rabbithole for more details if you want, but basically the EU is requiring fixed baffles now, but not when the R1200RS was made, so a lot of the R1200RS specific cans have removeable baffles, but none of the R1250RS cans have removeable baffles. I'm running the titanium Acro headers and the titanium Remus Hexacone w/ baffle in. It has a nice (if slightly agricultural) sound. Lots of snorts, snarls, pops and crackles on decel and down shifts especially in dynamic mode. Baffle out was obnoxiously loud to me. Maybe fun for a spirited hour long ride, but it's just too loud for more than that. I've received several complements about having a nice sounding bike that isn't loud, with my current set up (baffle in). One guy said, "Thanks for having a quiet bike." Probably shaved 10-15 lbs with all that work, maybe more, I'm sure someone has weighed everything. It sounds better, and looks better in my opinion. Was it worth the money? Depends on how much money you have. I'm single with no kids, so I can live in a tent, while the bike lives in the garage. Good luck and enjoy. |

Slight tangent - but aligned to the EU3/4 chat earlier in the thread . . .

Zitat von stigthecadman im Beitrag #1 I have a second hand Akrpovic on the way, which I believe is the official BMW version with a BMW part number. I believe it was made in 2018 which makes it Euro4 with non-removable baffle. As to your question about why some bikes have the carbon heat shield and some don't, I think it's because there are two versions of the heat shield. One for bikes with center stand and one for bikes without. I'm guessing that many of these pipes are supplied with the incorrect heat shield. The center stand heat shield will fit a bike without center stand, but not vise versa, so it probably just gets left off by many owners. No big deal. I'm wondering if the new pipe will cause increased leanness (surging). Surging on mine is somewhat noticeable at low speed and small throttle opening with the standard exhaust. We'll see.

Zitat von Steady Eddie im Beitrag #8Zitat von stigthecadman im Beitrag #1 Don't think the heat shied differs due to stand or not. I had one of these on a '15. I think the heat shield differs from 1200 to 1250.

I have a 1250 and bought an Akrapovic for a 1200. It didn’t have a heat shield. However I just used the original heat shield. It was held on by 3 torx. 2 go to the exhaust flap valve, the other went into the original silencer. As there is nothing on the Akrapovic to fit it to. I just fixed it with the 2 ( to the flap valve ) then put a nut at the back of the hole where the other Torx is ( to hold it in place and fill the hole ) I can’t imagine touching the heat shield with the heal of my boot and it seems to work perfectly the well. It probably doesn’t look as trick as the cabonfibre one, but I don’t think it’s an issue. |

Zitat von andygriff im Beitrag #9Zitat von Steady Eddie im Beitrag #8Zitat von stigthecadman im Beitrag #1 For the R1200RS there are definitely two different part numbers for the CF heat shield. 77118554341 is for without center stand 77118556703 is for with center stand (similar shape but has a cut away section to clear the stand). I would say both shields are interchangeable between R and RS. Don't know about the 1250. BTW REALOEM.COM is a great resource for looking up parts. The weird forum rules won't allow me to post a link to it. Eventual master of the obvious |
