Exhaust gaskets
Hi, I just bought some exhaust gaskets for my slip on pipes as they didnt have any but they seem too fat for the slip ons to fit over them. Am I supposed to crush them when I put the slip ons back on?

I have just helped my mate fit aftermarket exhausts on his R..We tried to use exhaust paste/gasket....no go,just wouldnt seat properly.
Eventualy just dry fitted them and tightened the supplied clamps in place..jd. No leaks either! |

Mine have been dry fitted since I bought the bike, just seen on the pipe manufacturers website they are supposed to be fitted with gaskets so I ordered some. The pipes do fit very snug on the headers although there are some small gas leaks there certainly isnt enough space for the 4mm thick gaskets!

My original question was am I supposed to crush the gaskets to fit them? I have already bought them...

If they are the correct/recommended gaskets supplied by the exhaust people then ask them.How big is the gap?
