Lithium Grease On Exhaust Gasket??


TimmyTheHog

Question

I am pretty sure I am going to blast with fire by asking this questions.

 

But I have never seen grease/lube use on Exhaust gasket before??? Maybe some nickle anti-seize on the header bolts but that's it.

For those who owned Yamaha bikes before, what do you do????

Little Secret. The reason Yamaha calls for using it is to help keep it stuck in place during assembly. That's it. 🤨

Hi, maybe I have missed this, is this repair manual available? Where did you get it?

Many thanks, Olli
