Exhaust gaskets and plug wires

[Warlock]

Done a little maintenance on my wife's Spyder. Got my plug, and wires from Bajaron. Very good quality. Installed them and then replaced the exhaust gaskets. Put the Honda gaskets in. Found the right side half gone. Bike has 9000 miles on it. Just a little heads up on the springs. I took a piece if nylon rope and looped it in the eye of the spring and pulled up and un-done it in about 15 seconds. Did both sides like this taking off and putting back on. Change out went very well. Bike is a lot quieter now. Getting it ready for the Arkansas trip in July for a week.

My Spyder has 11,000 miles and I did the same thing getting ready for Durango...Put on Ron's plug wires and Honda gaskets...My right side was half gone also...I just grabbed the springs with a channel locks and removed and installed them that way...Runs smoother and quieter...Next time I think I may just cut the zip tie that makes the oxygen sensor wire get stretched during this process and then zip tie it again when i am done...

I know this has been discussed before, but to save myself time searching for it, is there a special part # for the Honda gaskets we need? I have an 08GS SE5. thanks :thumbup:

Wackydan also has a really good install thread just do a search for "exhaust gasket".

Thanks!!! :thumbup: Am in the process of ordering oil kit and plugs and wires from BahaRon. Might as well do it all while she's tore apart

Is that part number good as wellfor the RT.. Done everything else to the exhaust, might as well change the gasket and get away from failing OEM parts..

I was told they only work on the GS/RS,
Not the RT, maybe someone else can chime in and double check.:dontknow:

No, the gaskets and the severity of the problem are restricted to the GS/RS.

See? That's another reason to buy an RT rather than an RS! :roflblack:
