Changing Yamaha SR125 Exhaust

[Toby_Smith]

Hi there,

I am changing the exhaust on my Yamaha SR125 today.

One quick question.

I am also changing the exhaust gasket but have been given conflicting information on whether I should apply grease to it first or not.

One person has told me top grease each edge of the gasket before it goes in, another has told me not the grease it at all.

Any guidance on this matter?

Thanks,

Toby

you shouldn't need to grease the gasket, as it will burn off, but DO grease the nuts/studs/mounting bolts with Copper grease (resistant to heat)
