For a quick temporary assembly, if 4 extra old gaskets are available, could fit two old gaskets instead of one new gasket.

Some hi-temp sealant should also help (whether using 1 old or 2 old or 1 new).



Good Fortune! :)

Double That! RTV works great! Hi Temp Red, is what I use. I never had an exhaust gasket on my old Harley's pipes in 25 years. You can see it on the front pipe orange-red ouze.
Excuse the HD for those who don't like.

Reviving an old thread here...

Just pulled my exhaust, sanded, and re-painted. The exhaust gaskets look like some combination copper/fiber as opposed to original solid copper style.

Are these the single use variety or a more modern type that can be re-used? I've seen some advertised as being able to be re-used without annealing or leaking...

Shipping is killing me. Z1E has been great, but I keep finding more stuff I need, just after I've placed orders, so I'm paying shipping all over again. This would be my third order placed this week if I order new gaskets!

Perhaps the thicker Suzuki gaskets mentioned here:

They look more like the Yamaha gasket on that page.

I've been re-using mine for years.
Coat them in copper grease. Flip them 180 degrees and re-fit.
No leaks ;)
