I wish the DBK was that easy to get out... We wanted to see the blood, sweat, tears & fowl language getting to that point...

baffle removal
Easiest way to get baffle out I found was to put a screwdriver in 2 of the baffles ,put a screwdriver or tyre lever inbetween and twist left and right it soon moves it. A different job putting it back in , that's why people are cutting the inner baffle pipes . Hope this helps.

I drilled a 3mm hole, in the forward facing baffle tube ( when looked at from the side ). If you drill the innermost part if this individual baffle tube. Make a hook on one end of a 3mm piece of stainless rod and 90 bend on the opposite end. Hook the rod onto the baffle, pliars on the 90degree end, and tap (hard) with a small hammer. Baffles come out easier.

Baffle cutting
I get my new MT-09 delivered (with Akro exhaust) late this week and am hoping to take the baffle out to increase the sound slightly. I think it might be too loud to run it without any baffles in whatsoever.
Does anyone run it with NO baffles? - if so, is it really too loud?
OR - does it sounds better with just the baffles shortened on the inside?
Cheers

Baffle out is pretty loud. Its fun for half hour, then becomes a headache. Cut the inner baffles down. Nice sound without being too quiet / too loud. The picture is with cut-down baffles.MDB

I found with the stock air filter and no baffle you loose the awesome sound of the triple and the sound just rattles you so I cut the inner half of the baffle off and put it back it. Perfect mix. But since I put the K&N air filter in I now run without any baffles. It's really loud while you're riding hard and in high revs but sounds amazing. When I'm cruising through towns I'll tend to high gear it and it sounds beautiful but not too loud. And the beauty of the short gearing is you can comfortably be in 5th or 4th at 30 and still have enough torque to get yourself out of trouble if need be.

woohooooo sounds like the cut baffle does the trick for most people!
i finally got mine off this weekend after 2800 miles stuck in there. Tried the screwdriver trick and small hole trick but still wouldnt budge. Ended up taking the backbox off which wasnt too difficult (2 x 12mm bolts and tapped gently off with a blunt flatblade screwdriver on the join towards the back wheel). Decided to put a washing up bowl underneath to break the fall which actually worked)
Put the backox upside down with the hanging bracket in a big bench vice i have and gently knocked the db killer out with a breaker bar from the inside as you can see where it joins inside.
Chopped the db killer down with a jigsaw and now i can get it in and out as i please now.
Its currently out but i cant ride it until Wednesday, it did however make my garage rattle when i started it up
