• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

All you high milers, when your exhaust gaskets went bad were there any codes thrown by the computer. I know on most cars with an exhaust leak before O2 sensor, codes will show up due to false mixture. Just curious to see if this happened and if a way to tell if its leaking before a full blowout.

no codes

mine just started running bad. occasional backfire, cracking and popping, in the 4k rpm range. turns out just the right side clamp was loose. i put in honda gaskets anyway, to be done with it.:thumbup: happy ending.

Is there a specific Honda gasket? Perhaps a part number?

i have replaced mine 3 times the last time with the honda gaskets

74k no codes thrown. it just started backfiring.
 
Had the right side gasket burn out at around 7-8k. No codes thrown, just poor performance and a very hot right leg. At 31k now with the Honda gaskets and going good.

Hope the RT crowd finds a good non-OEM replacement... :pray:

I know the RS gasket will not fit the RT but is there another gasket number to replace it. After market one?

There is none that I know of. The RT gaskets are far more robust, however, so the factory gaskets have not been a problem. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

:agree: It is my understanding that BRP actually looked into the exhaust gasket issue and made improvements based on all of us who were changing to the Honda gaskets on our GS Spyders.
