Need to replace the exhaust to head gasket on my FZ750. Two options, an alloy fibre type or brass.

Both are the same price. Which is recommended ?

This came up in another thread recently - the general wisdom was to use the copper type as the fibre degrades over time leading to a blowing exhaust.

I've always used the copper type and never had a problem.

I used the fibre type on the GPZ some years ago, but ended up replacing them within about 2 years.... (and I even still have a spare set if anyone was interested) Wink

I've since got the metal/alloy ones on the Bandit and had no need to replace so far

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 14 years, 166 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
