Hi, I am having trouble removing the baffle from my Superduke GT's Akrapovic slip on can. I've taken out the rubber grommet and the bolt underneath, but it still will not come out. Any advice greatly appreciated, cheers.

Re: Akrapovic baffle removal
When i had an Acra on my 1290R, i too had trouble removing that screw behind the gromet. What i found, or what it looked like to me was, The screw that holds the baffle in, is connected to a rod, and as the screw is tightened, it sheers off, leaving the screw in tight, but unable to be removed, i drilled it, and hit a hex key into the hole, and wound it out. Well that was my acra, yours could be different, I've noticed on my Remus muffler, the baffle is held in by a similar screw, but it has a small spot weld holding it in place solid. (small coal chisel should sort that little fuker out) 
. Good luck removing it.

Re: Akrapovic baffle removal
It's most likely a tamper proof screw (the little rod nub) preventing a tool from fitting into the head of the bolt. Then. Either an interference fit between the baffle and pipe and or a weld somewhere. Euro 4 rules state that the baffle must be installed in such a way to cause damage to the pipe if removed. Nice ha? I have heard that the slip ons for the full systems are not installed the same way , but they are technically not street legal.

Did you remove the bolt?
Re: Akrapovic baffle removal
OK... part No. 61405979000 (the new can), baffle came out very easily
Remove the bolt from the side (be careful not to lose the bolt inside the carbon cap)
I used a big metal bar (tommy bar? not sure of the name) and I stuck a 38mm socket in the end
Put it in the can and with a hammer I pushed it out. 2 minutes job.
No damage to the can. The baffle is quite snug in there
