New exhaust - any tips please?

Got a new (almost) genuine Suzuki exhaust off ebay. I’m going to replace it tomorrow.
Doesn’t look like a complicated job but any tips and advice welcome.
Do I have to use any sealent where it connects to downpipes?

Best tip i can give you is give all the nuts and bolts you need to undo a good dose of WD40 today to give it a chance of soaking in.:slight_smile:

When I changed the can on my Bandit (600) I had to use a new gauze gasket for where the pipe joins the downpipes, was about 12 quid.

Thanks a lot! Will try to get that gasket before removing old one.

should have got a decebt exhaust, unless ya got it v cheap.

25 quid

Did you get it fitted OK ?

Nah, left it for another day

have fixed clocks, headlamp, bar ends…
now looks almost as good as before I’ve dropped it :slight_smile:

tank is awaiting respraying, and that can… need to get that ring and some sealant
