2 stroke - Exhaust leak

[FlubbaBubba]

The exhaust is leaking on the ball joint which is bolted to the cylinder and i cant seem to seal it.

I have cleaned up the ball and socket on the exhaust so they of shiny and put stronger springs on but it still leaks so i tried holts gun gum and that lasted 2 weeks now its leaking again.

Anybody know how to seal it?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

What motorcycle are we talking about? There is supposed to be a seal of some sort there, such as a copper ring.

Ehh, if possible try springs to fasten the exhaust. Knowing the bike would help

Hi

With the description of a ball mounting it sounds like an Aprilia 125.

If so they are meant to use a high temp silicone sealant, as this will stay relatively soft unlike gum gum.

All the best

Loctite 5920 works well on 2t exhaust flanges. It's copper coloured and can withstand up to 350 degrees C.
