hello z support team

due to exhaust blowing a bit and an impending mot I have decided to fit some new exhaust gaskets . In the past with having a 4 into 1 exhaust I have had to take the exhaust off every time i have changed the oil filter and have replaced the old gasketts many times....anyway I have received the new gaskets promptly from good old z power (who I cant praise highly enough)..and notice one side of each gaskett is rounded and the other flat, as I have never seen a new gasket before and bearing in mind its not a standard exhaust which way do the gaskets go on ..is it flat side against the cylinder block ?

any advice appreciated and hope santa brings me a proper exhaust for christmas

ive always used rounded ones in the past, then i was sent some that are flat on both sides, so my guess is it doesnt matter.

I would have thought that the flat side sits against the head, I use some clear silicone on the joint as well, don't know how right that is but seems to work ok, a bloke who makes em told me that years ago.

thanks guys, I put them on flat side against the cylinder and no more blowing problems, the bike passed Mot after the garage sold me a new number plate for 15 quid as they told me due to new legislationmy orignal plate was too small, ah well just happy it passed without too much expense

Good on you Bob.

Just in time to lay it up for the winter
