The airspeed indicator is quite a delicate instrument. You could damage it by blowing hard down the pipe, just using your mouth, not a air hose. The baffle is often contained in a screw-off end, of the pitot. This has a restricted hole, so that air passes through to transmit the pressure, relative to speed to the instrument.

The volume of air is kept very low, due to the restriction. Any dirt or insects that get through the larger hole in the "bullet" end of the pitot, should be stopped by the baffle.

How can i Remove the muffler baffles in a 1996 virago?

All you have to do is drill the rivets that you see holding the beauty plate in the ends of the muffler. After you do this the beauty plate will come off and reveal another plate. Then the tricky part. You will see the diameter of the inner baffle, you need to find to hole saws. 1 for the inner tube outside diameter and 1 for the inside diameter of the exhaust to cut out after drilling the inner exhaust one out. Then you can look in and notice the baffle being held in place in three spot wher it is welded to the inside diameter of the pipe. You can use a long saw saw blade or something to cut at it or as I have heard other ppl say they just grabbed it with some vise grips and wiggled and tugged on it till it broke free , either way gives you the same result"NO BAFFLE" You will probably like the sound better than factory but Keep in mind you virago will never sound like a Harley even with a nice set of Aftermarket slip ons. I know I have a XV1000 and have done the baffle removal and aftermarkets. Though they do sound good.


How does a anemometre work?

An anemometer measures wind speed by using cups or propellers that rotate in response to the wind. The rate of rotation is then converted into a wind speed reading. Some anemometers also use ultrasonic or pitot tube technology to measure wind speed.


What is the difference between a manometer and a pitot?

Heating the liquid in a test tube?

When heating a liquid in a test tube, make sure to use a Bunsen burner or a hot plate, and gently heat the bottom of the test tube. Avoid heating the liquid too quickly to prevent bumping or boiling over. Use a test tube holder to hold the test tube and prevent accidental spills or burns.
