Hi,

I have a CBR 600 FX (''99) and the exhaust is blowing in quite a few places underneath.
I am going to get myself new downpipes which will sort the problem easily enough but my only problem is which gaskets I need for the manifold??

I''ve looked on a couple of sites and either they come with the downpipes at an extra £10 ish or I have found a site that sells them individually at 99p each.... not a difficult choice to make as which ones to buy, saving £6 is best for me I think

The thing is that the site I have seen them on (jtsmotorcycles.co.uk) has either copper or fibre exhaust gaskets and I don''t know which I need or which are better??

I don''t know what the old gaskets are like yet, haven''t taken the exhaust off... I know that''s the easier way, to just fit what''s already on there, but don''t want to take it apart until I have the new parts as I use my bike to get to work.

Thanks for your help!

Lou

No worries, realised I shouldn''t be such a tight arse and for the sake of £6 I''m better off making sure I get the right parts.
Cheers for trying to help anyway x
