I just installed one of those metal gaskets that covers the whole flange, and im concerned about possible leaking. When I put my hand by the flange I can feel hot air blowing by but im not sure if its the air from the fan blowing through the shroud or from the gasket leaking...anyone have a similar experience? Should I get some red rtv gasket maker maybe to make sure?

Well...strangely enough with the new gasket I no longer get any pops on decelleration like I did before which was what I was aiming for...but I just hope imnot leaking. Is it normal to feel hot airflow by the exhaust header from the fan blowing?

Yes it's normal. Since the fan pumps air around the engine shroud, air does flow. Try smelling it. Does the air coming out smell like exhaust or just hot air.

Phew, I was worried haha, i suspected it was the shroud though because its a lot of air, and the brand new gasket shouldnt leak THAT much. This scooter is makin me ocd, but I do love working on it, I just want everything perfect. Glad my popping is gone though! Kinda made me nervous about burning my engine up or something terrible even if it did sound cool

Yep , its almost impossible to be able to feel if it is leaking there, since the fan is blowing the warm air out around the header opening also.
