When I put my Yoshimura RS-5 can I reuse the stock gasket or do I need a new one. I only have 160 miles on my bike.

take off the gasket...you don't need it just slide the midpipe all the way down to the headers and tighten the clamp

If you aftermarket pipe is anything like my Micron slip on the gasket will not fit. The slip on riser pipe slips perfectly over the stock header pipe. That is one reason the after markets are better because the riser pipes are a bigger diameter. As you are installing your pipe it will become very apparent if you will need the gasket.

trust me, you don't need it...i had mine on and everybody on 600rr.net told me it was sticking out too far of the back. they said the remedy is to take the gasket off...just what i was told you just have to wiggle the livin crap out of it to get it flush down to the headers.

The system will either come with a replacement gasket, be designed to use the old stock gasket, or be designed to discard the gasket all together. Depends on manufacturer. Personally I think the gasket is a good idea.

So how do I know?? If it doesn't come with a new one then how do I know if I use the old or nothing at all?? I have the Yoshimura RS-5 Slip-On.

Read the instructions.... use the old one with the yoshi no offence Tribal but he is installing a yoshi not a micron which I have installed before and found it better to use the gasket. If you really have a problem deciding talk to your dealer if that gives you peace of mind good luck .. nd don't sweat it mate it's only a slip on

Springs, It takes a lot more then some one disagreeing with me to offend me so no worries. Anyway, you are probably right about the yoshies being different since I have no idea what the diameter of the Yosh riser pipe is.

In my case If I would have retained the stock gasket my Micron riser pipe would have butted up against it and it would have served no sealing purpose. One reason I bought the Micron was that if I chose to buy the Micron header pipe later it would fit the Micron slip on I have now thus making it a full system. Not all after market slip on will do that.

Use the gasket, trust me get a new one. I re-use my old one (bike was only 10 miles at the time) Just few days ago i found out it was leaking. At first there were lidquid dripping down near my exhaust, and the first thing went through my mind was a leak. Took out heatshield, started up the bike and sure enuf it was leaking. So i ordered a new gasket through HOnda dealership (20 bucks) And hoping to put it in this weekend.

Like always another two different answers. One with the Yoshi says the dealer said don't use it adn the other guy is saying use it. I might have to find an 800 for Yoshi before I install it and see what they say. This sucks.............

You can re-use it if ya want... When i took mine off i noticed that the crushed aliminum gasket is indented all around by the old exhaust. Of course the yoshi didn't have the same imprint so there were gaps when putting on yoshi. It's your money man do what ya want. I know i have a leak so i am gonna patch it up. Also, who at the dealer told ya ya don't need it? The mechanic or the parts guy? Or whether or not they even install a new one on an 05 600 yet. When you get your yoshi box, the instruction have an 800 number on it, give em a call... Not exactly a friendly bunch but they'll answer ya...Actually here' the number 800-634-9166
