pulling the exhaust

ok, i got the tire now i have to wait till this week end to change it over. my question is, are there any gasket on the exhaust and do they have to be replaced . let me tell you i've had so many people tell me this past week that it can't be done. so i just direct them to this site, and show them some vid's on you tube. the local tire store guy just thinks i'm nuts. can't wait till it's done so i can just go show'em.

exhaust does not have to come off for a tire change, FYI.... if you want to remove or have to for whatever other reason there is a gasket under both parts that bolt to the head. They are not expensive, couple bucks each or so I think. It's recommended to replace them everytime since they are crush gaskets, but some say they didn't and don't have any problems...

if you want some instructions, bareasschoppers.com should have a write-up for both the tire and exhaust (I think) on his website.

Good luck and take your time, the N fender is a little trickier than my old F fender was! (clearance)

I had to pull the exhaust on my 1300R to get at the axel bolt. Here are numbers for the crush gaskets.

guess it might depend on what exhaust you have? Dropping the swingarm by disconnecting the shocks might help, I also have just loosened up the rear moutn bracket and been able to flex the exhaust slightly enough for clearance...
