Hi All,

Im swapping my exhausts on my street triple r and one of the gaskets has stuck to the outside of the OEM part. I cant for the life of me get it off and was wondering if therse any quick fix i can do to get my bike rolling again.

I've ordered two replacements from triumph but they won't be in till tuesday. My car is also in the garage till mid next week so im vehicle-less till then and wondered if theres an easy quick fix.

Any help is much obliged.

Here is the pic of what i mean

Needs a new graphite gasket. Not much you can bodge other than lots of exhaust gum. Which will be a pita to clean off when you fit the new kit.

Quick fix, lots of tin foil.

Don't do it though, should have bought gaskets first Wink

Possible you could pry off from the back of it.

tried prying it off, wont budge. I took one off and it was fine, didnt expect 2nd one to not be so didnt order till today.

this is after i had to spend 3 hours removed the bolts because they appeared to made of plastic rather than steel :<

Thanks for your help chaps!
