Jenny Pryde Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Re-fit the old ones - start the bike, put some washing up liquid solution on it, rev it. If no bubbles, carry on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szrdave Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 It might be a bit late to mention this, but I hope you've ordered genuine/copper gaskets. Those cardboard ones on ebay are completely crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okjc250 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 yea got copper ones. should i use any gasket sealer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilchicken0 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 No you don't need any jointing compound. Not if you've got a Honda. 4 x exhaust gaskets + 4 x sealing washers (rubber) for the FI system = £49 (from David Silver too...normally cheaper than a dealer). Effing ricockulous. Ffff honda ....
