I want remove the rattling exhaust shields from my 03RX-1ER. I've had the cross over to muffler exhaust component off the sled last year so that part was quick and easy but how about the shields ahead of those , the ones on the 2 -1 headers, Do I need to drop the suspension and track to get to those ? And if I remove the 3 shields mentioned will that be all of them ? ![4strokes :4STroke: :4STroke:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/4strokes.gif)

i removed all of mine(2 i think i cant remember)
. you do not have to remove the track.just remove the 2 bolts on each each side ,behind the top wheel,and it will drop down (the suspension) .then drill out the rivets .mine is very quiet now.

I just posted about removing and replacing the rivets and how there is not enough room to get the rivet gun above new rivets.I want remove the rattling exhaust shields from my 03RX-1ER. I've had the cross over to muffler exhaust component off the sled last year so that part was quick and easy but how about the shields ahead of those , the ones on the 2 -1 headers, Do I need to drop the suspension and track to get to those ?

I need to replace the two heat shields that "sandwich" the exhaust manifolds just off the engine. I bought replacements and need to somehow remove and replace those 5 rivets in lower shield. (PIC POSTED) There isn't room with the rivet gun I have as the engine is above rivets. Any advice from someone successful. View attachment 175025
