Hi guys,
I purchased my MT09 last week from a dealer around 35 miles away from me, and it came with the baffle out (was given the baffle to take home). After riding it for a little over a week I decided it's pretty damn loud and wanted to see what it's like with the baffle in.
Long story short, after a lot of GT-85, a small piece of wood, a towel and a hammer, I've managed to get the baffle mostly in, but it's still not aligned to the screw correctly.
I don't think it will fall out, but I'd obviously either like the screw to be in for safety, or the baffle removed again, but I can't do it myself as I'm far too inexperienced.
My local Yam dealer (Infinity Motorcycles in Clapham) gave it a quick try with some pliers but couldn't budge it, and apparently are told by yamaha that they should take the entire can off to take it out or put it in.
The mechanic said they might end up charging me half an hour's labour to try and get it in or out, but I'd rather not waste £30-35 just having the baffle put in another few mm or taken out.
Is there anyone in the Greater London area (I'm in SW19) that's found an easy way to get theirs in and out, and wouldn't mind helping me out at some point? I'll obviously travel to you, can give you a bit of cash for your trouble if needed.
Thanks in advance!

I'm really useless with it all, wouldn't know where to start in taking the can off without breaking something to be honest!
