Hello,

Today my father and I have put together my MK2 after a rebuild and it started first kick!

Really please but when we were putting it together, we didn't have an exhaust gasket for the downpipe/exhaust flange area.

I'm going to check for a leak when I take it out in daylight. IF I can't see one, do I actually need one, or is this essential in the long run?

Probably advisable, as it might act as a spacer for the end of the pipe into the exhaust flange?
Good news it's all running though.
Mike

strongly advise as my bike recently sucked water into the engine. Airbox was dry so I suspect it was through the exhaust between stinger and silencer (DEP slip on)

Thanks guys!
