Are RS Header Y Gasket's different to ST's & RT's??

[Flamewinger]

Read something about replacing the Y gasket and read that it's on a 2012 RS. Are the RS headers different to the ST or RT?

I got the Honda gasket 18392-MAM-000 and find they are smaller than the collars I got from BRP.

What am I missing?

The only bikes that can use the Honda gaskets; are the ones with the 990-series engines. That's the GS and RS, prior to 2013...
Your ST has the 991 series engine (With throttle by wire), so it uses a completely different setup.

The 990 engines were in the RS prior to 2013.
In 2013; ALL of the bikes had the 991 engines.
All of the Vee-Twins were 998cc
In 2014: the 1403 series triples hit the market (1330 cc...)

This is a pretty easy mistake to make; when this "mix & match" first surfaced; folks didn't fully realize what the two engines shared, and what was different.
This was a "Different"...
(I almost bought a set for my RT back then... pps

There you have it....

Sure you can find someone who needs them. I always have a pair on hand. Seems 2013 was the big change in the little things not mentioned. .:thumbup:
