    No that's what I meant. If the stone is stuck near the head shields, the issue is solved. I just looked at my RTZ silencer saw that end was something like a removable.

      If you are too much worried about the issue then, Go to a mechanic get the silencer removed and hammer it, scratch it. untill it looks like some car or rickshaw-wala banged into your bike's silencer. This way you will get a brand new silencer by INSURANCE without any cost.

        +1.

        @ T.S - BTW how do you know its a stone ?? did the kid confess till now?
        because it can be metal nut vibrating issue which is VERY common in pulsar's .

          As for those who keep telling to do wheelie to take it out, why break your heads? I can just unscrew the silencer and tilt it vertically come on guys!!

          I'll try it if it ends up that I have to change the silencer.
          Also, let's keep it low about this, we don't want insurance companies snooping here

          Again, let me repeat that a silencer is not just the small pipe you see at the end, there are multiple pipes/holes in it which is held inside the outer hull, if a stone or something goes inside through the pipe and falls inside the hull through the holes, then it's like trying to play that game in which you shake a bigger sphere inside which you have small metal pellets which you have to try to put into a smaller cup.. I know it doesn't make sense, but if something falls inside the vaccum hull inside the silencer which is used to cancel the low/high pressure noise, then it's like playing the puzzle I mentioned!

          Here's how the inside of a car muffler looks, you see the empty hull I'm talking about?

                This happened to my dad's splendor. My friends younger brother put a small stick inside the igniton key hole. Got a key guy removed it. he charged some 50 bucks. but he removed it!

                  Lucky yours was a stick that could be puled out but then the stone was impossible to remove

                    This may sound weird but this is just my imagination

                    1 - Take a small stick - perhaps the coconut sticks which they use to create Brooms - take some two to three and tie them together that will make it stronger and also some how flexible now put some kind of Fevicol or a Double stickable tape at the end of the stick and insert it into the silencer Hole - there are few chances that the stone can stick to it and you can also manage to pull it out.......Just try it.......

                      ^^ nice idea there, but the baffles will prevent much investigation.

                      @OP - the only other thing i could think of over the day was to remove silencer, take it to a car wash person, and blast water from the exhaust port ( where it connects to the engine ). The pressurization can push the stone out the rear.

                        Try opening the silencer, Connect the port that is connected to engine to the vaccum hose of vaccum cleaner. A powerful vaccum cleaner would do the job.

                          what if the stick by chance touches the inner wall the silencer and sticks there now we got a stone + 1 stick in silencer

                          bro the only way is remove the exhaust and try put in some pressure from one side may the stone come out
                          Look out at the darkness, and you will see
                          Just call my name and I'll be there

                            use a vaccum cleaner?

                              The engine itself makes as much power as a vaccum cleaner, So best way might be to remove the silencer, make it upside down and shake it untill the stone comes out
