check your graphite gasket
Just replaced my Graphite gasket. I had no idea the order of it so I went with the flow.
Removed metal support belt
Removed main nut..(all pro mechanic terms).
Took off exhaust,
remove exhaust/gasket brace/scrapped away remaining gasket from inside exhaust
bent out exhaust fins, lightly hammered in gasket
Fit exhaust and gasket over main exhaust pipe
Put main exhaust nut back in
Placed gasket brace on...used adjustable clamp to clamp brace together so I could get a good thread in.
Tightened brace
Put metal exhaust strap back in
Fired up the 500.........PRRRRRRRRRRRRTHTHTHRRR like a kitten.
I did however enjoy the angry grumbling of the main pipe.
Now if I can only figure out how to take out rear left turn indicator. Looks like a lot of Tupperware has to come off
ugggg.
