Exhaust gasket

Recommended Posts

So i've just put a deposit on the new Akrapovic exhaust and was wondering if i should change the exhaust gasket when i switch the headers out. Bike is 8 months old with 5k on the clock?

They're technically single use because they're made to crush/shape to the surfaces. Some will insist on replacing. It's the kind of thing I'd go ahead and have on hand just in case but decide after inspecting. Many reuse with no issue on lower mileage bikes.

You have really low mileage on your bike so you should be fine with reusing them, I replaced my exhaust at almost 30k so I replaced them.  I'll probably never remove the header again, so I made sure it had new gaskets.
