#137908 wilburn (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 68 Can I reuse these ? 1 Month, 4 Weeks ago   The gasket where my exhaust meets the cylinders ? I'm installing Freedom Duels and these gaskets looked allright but I wanted to make sure first. They look good still but I thought they might be crushed too much. How much do they cost?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #137909 billjr (User) RIDE LIKE YOUR INVISABLE!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a tourque on those, or is it just tighten by feel?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #137920 javawave (User) Over 16801 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 3500 Re:Can I reuse these ? 1 Month, 4 Weeks ago   I reused mine. If I had taken them off a couple of times I would have changed. Worked out fine. There is probably a spec to torque them at, but I just used a standard length rachet and got them tight, but I didnt lean on it. then when I got the bike good and hot I gave them another 1/8" or so turn while it was hot. I never had a problem.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/11/10 20:52 By javawave.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #137931 wilburn (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 68 Re:Can I reuse these ? 1 Month, 4 Weeks ago   Thanks Java I'm just checking. This is as far into my bike as I've ever been and wanted to make sure before I stripped any more bolts. It seems like every time I do something to it I have to go to the hardware store to stock up on bolts.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 3152 Re:Can I reuse these ? 1 Month, 4 Weeks ago   They are about $7.00 each and yes they are a crush type gasket. You can buy felpro 23588 gaskets at an auto parts store and use them in place of the OEM ones. You will need to keep checking them for a while as they seat and the nuts become loose. I couldn't find the torque for the bolts just snug them down good but nkeep checking them for a few days.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #137935 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 13500 Re:Can I reuse these ? 1 Month, 4 Weeks ago   The stock gaskets aren't crush gaskets so you should be able to re-use them. After you get everything tightened up take it out and ride it. Let it cool off and tighten the nuts again. They will probably be a little loose. Do that a couple times.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #137945 Curt (User) Never to old to ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3152 Re:Can I reuse these ? 1 Month, 4 Weeks ago   Oh yes they are if you buy new ones you will see there is material just like the felpro gasket sandwiched between the cooper. I know because I just bought new one a couple of weeks ago.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #137946 6hrtbt3 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 166 Re:Can I reuse these ? 1 Month, 4 Weeks ago   I am going to be replacing my Krome Werks with the stock exhaust soon, so I bought new gaskets at the dealer. Just wanted to be safe. They were $21.95 for the pair.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
