If you got the frame clamps and the locking nuts(I got 'em too but I'm not
quit sure if they were worth the $$)You can try some hi-temp RTV on the
threads (tip from the list!). The combination of these three things seem to
make my gaskets last a bit longer.

Subject: exhaust probs
to whoever wrote this (i've lost track):on
"cookie I always thought exhaust if it pops letting off the throttle and
intake air leak if it popped getting on the throtle? B."
an air leak at the exhaust manifold will pop on the over run. an air leak
the intake will just make it run weak in my experience.time.
now if anyone knows how to stop an eldo getting a loose joint at the
head/downpipe i'd like to know. got a friends bike doing this all the
NOT the nut coming loose (it's the locknut type), it just eats the gasket&
after a few miles, air gets in, backfires like crazy. i put new gaskets in
it's fine for a while, then same thing.the
it started happening when new mufflers were fitted with rear balance pipe
removed. i think it may be to do with the pipes moving & flattening off
gaskets. however the exhaust assy doesn't appear to be moving any morethan
stock.now.
i must have put 6 sets of ex gaskets in that bike & i'm getting fed up
the
