hey up chaps.... i have a little question on the exhaust header gaskets..
after doing a top end rebuild on the beast i keep getting oil drips in the bottom of the fairing Sad

the only thing different is i ground the washers off the headers on the pipes but i used o.e. gaskets and they leak oil Mad

is there any cure or different good gaskets about or am i just going to have to have gunk for christmas instead of aftershave!!!!!!

cheers phil

My Honda pipes don't drip at all and I always reuse the old gaskets, the Tyga ones on the race bike do unless I use some sealant though that's just it getting round the spring clip joint thingies.

A good, high temp silicone sealant will help.
