    Oiling in the silencer; sound changed - Help!

    I hav a p180ug3 has run just 1500 kms.
    Recently i took my bike to wash. and then oil(my bike has a half chain cover like p200). The mechanic put oil on the chain, some moving parts and lastly in the silencer. i didnt get this. y did he put oil in the silencer?? I think my bike's sound has changed after that. i mean increased a bit.

      So that the internals don't get rusted?

      Although I find it stupid, beacuse your exhaust gases have enough unburnt hydrocarbons and carbon particles that will prevent rusting.

      Frankly and logically - i dont see any point in filling muffler with oil.

        AS FAR AS I KNOW.....
        they do that because it helps your exhaust to last longer....
        OIL in exhaust basically to avoid moisture so that baffles do not get rusted....
        i didnt do it on my exhaust the first one...lasted for like 2 n half years then i got the DTSI exhaust onn and i used to get it done in every service....
        IF YOU DONT KNOW the exhaust has a HOLE beneath o the excess oil drops out anyways....
        dun worry its a good thing to do

          The sound is normal.Since your bike is new,the sound emanating from the exhaust and the engine will seem different as the bike opens up.
          Dont worry and enjoy your bike.Ride safe.

            The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!
