    A note to old forum members...
    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Exhaust gaskets...use once or...?

I need to replace my GS750EC oil pan and it appears I'll have to remove the exhaust (silencers & pipes).
Should I replace the the exhaust gaskets (14181-01D00) or give the existings another go?

 
OEM gaskets can be used a few times before they need replacing. cheap aftermarket gaskets are usually knackered after one use, (if they seal properly in the first place!). if they dont look too badly damaged or compressed, they should be ok to use again.

Does this assume they weren't crushed flat by the previous install?
 
I have to remove the exhaust ( SS supertrapp)to change my oil filter, which i do every second oil change. I have replaced the exhaust gaskets once in 30 years (for no real reason) they weren't leaking.
maybe i'll change them this year.

Re-using exhaust gaskets is just a roll of the dice. Sometimes they'll seal, sometimes not.

Do ya feel lucky, punk? Well, do ya?

Personally, my time has value and I hate doing things twice. So I keep an extra set or two on the shelf and replace them each time. They're cheap.
 
My experience matches BWringers on this. I used to have to remove my pipe every time when I had the Yoshi too..
