Are they meant to be a sloppy fit? turns out the ones i have in me 16 are same size internal,external diameter and thickness as these ones i have in me rk5 pipes!
Look in the parts book, it's the same part number for the MC16, MC18r2j and MC18r5k _________________ Please do not PM me technical questions, if you can't find it on the Forum start a thread
When they are new they are quite abit thicker than used one so it doenst need to be any larger out side dia as once the cans are tightened up to the pipe there is a very good seal.
From memory the gasket is about 2mm smaller OD then the can is ID. _________________ If I have to take the carbs off once more...
Yes stephen thats right,only one silencer is not sealing properly and it doesn't matter if i swap gaskets around,why Honda went to the trouble of machining out rk5 silencer 2mm bigger and not making a gasket to suit seems a bit pointless
Is there a gasket sealer you can buy?
Will mc 21 gaskets fit?
Why did they put a gasket there at all is the question. _________________ Please do not PM me technical questions, if you can't find it on the Forum start a thread
I guess any join in the exhaust system has to be air/gas tight,summat to do with pressure waves,and stops black crap spraying out all over the back end of me bike
A new gasket should do the trick as when they are new they are close to 2mm too big and take quite abit to compress, this gives a really good seal. Once they have been removed once though they will almost always leak. _________________ If I have to take the carbs off once more...
