Soooo, I swapped my exhaust for a nice open one, but when I took off my old one I was bemused to find that it did not have an exhaust gasket to start with...dubbya t EFF? Its been running OK...I just put on my new one for now until I can get one shipped but I'm kind of annoyed just one more part I have to order grrr. I'm not gonna like blow my engine up right? Its been running for like 650 miles from the factory without a darn gasket!

Are you sure it's just not pressed very tightly into the grooved area?

Hmmm, it may have been haha idk. It didn't seem like there was anything there, but I didn't know there was a grooved area. It looked even if I remember correctly idk maybe I'm just blind haha.

I thought mine was missing a gasket until i layed on the ground and looked underneath, i also picked up one of those gaskets that goes through the threads as well the tiny washer type one didn't seem sufficient www.partsforscooters.com/130-44_Exhaust_Gasketthis is the kind that came on mine stock |

Oh OK, I was looking for the other kind I've seen that goes over the threads. I think I remember seeing the ring up in there. I ordered one of the other kinds neways. Thanks that makes more sense

No harm no foul just make sure there's one in there as soon as you can,,,,when you swapped exhaust did you see evidence of a leak? Black soot residue around the port? No real miles on the machine yet to worry about the exhaust gasses flame cutting the head but I wouldn't wait too long,,,,probably in there you just overlooked it

Lol, well I wouldn't notice any soot as my stock exhaust was black haha. But I seem to remember seeing the ring. And I have the better gasket coming. I'm go a take it of tmrw as my mount gets in the way of my oil dipstick so I'm gonna grind it down a bit. While its off I'll make sure its there. Thanks for the info
