    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

makeshift gasket?

After taking the exhaust of my bike to do some work on the engine, I noticed that one of the clamps securing one of the center pipes into the rest of the exhaust had been damaged. When taking the clamp off out came a little gasket that had all but deteriorated. When bringing these two small parts to my local shop they priced that little gasket at like $38! Ouch..

is there any substitute for this gasket? maybe if I go to a muffler shop?

anyway thanks!
 
Go to a muffler shop and ask. They usually have an assortment of manifold gaskets, clamps etc in stock. You may find it costs you $38 anyway.

You can only try.
 
Find some on-line. If I'm thinking of the same thing, I just got some for my 850, and I'm sure I would remember paying more than a couple bucks.
 
if you are talking about the copper that goes under the clamshell, your local parts store is smoking some hardcore drugs. i bought mine off bike bandit for about a buck each.
 
I believe you're talking about the "sleeves" underneath between the pipes.

They're about $17 each at BikeBandit, and yes, they are important -- I finally had to replace mine to cure a decel lean pop.
 
Thanks for the info guys!


And yes my local shop does like to smoke alot of drugs ha.
