hiya all,
I've been looking everywhere i know for the diameter of my exhaust gaskets without acctually taking my bloody exhaust off again. I need to get new gaskets but the local shop cant tell me the size i'll need or anything, they are pretty useless. None the less i call upon ur help again! Can anyone tell me the size (in mm) of the exhaust gaskets for the 1989 H1 model please?
cheers

Re: exhaust gaskets
i'm quite sure they are 40mm, but get kawasaki ones, i got cheap pattern coiled paper and they broke up, don't waste money like i did!

Re: exhaust gaskets
You should get a choice of copper or aluminium - copper are the 'regular' ones that most people use. As far as I know nobody has had any complaints about the aluminium ones so they do the job just as well.
You'll be looking around £2 each at Kwak prices...
I'd also recommend buying 8 new studs as well. If you don't break any getting them off the first time it's a miracle, and it'll make it slightly easier if you need to take them out in the future if you've put shiny new ones in!

Wemoto.com do them for the L's at £1.25 each. It might be worth ringing them...
I'd check sizes in my manual but it's buried under redecorating stuff at the moment.

Re: exhaust gaskets
i got 4 aluminium gaskets for £6 VAT included. Fixed the lovely blowing problem and no i didnt snap any studs 
although admitadly the nuts were ceased on the studs and when i undone it i removed the studs from the engine. they soon went back into place easy enough though. Next job is to get a MPH speedo and new cable, then fix the god awful job of wiring that the previous owner has done on my front end wiring loom :smt013
