Ok so about a month after I got my bike I knew I had an exhaust leak form the front and I could hear and see it coming form the where the manifold meets the pipe. So I change the Donut gasket and it seemed fine. I was out last night and could hear a bit of a leak so I looked down and I can see that gasket spin when I hit the throttle hard. Its like the springs aren't pulling it tight enough (Just bought the 2 springs) so could it be the rubber mount thats a little ways way back? I change it as well and right now I have it so its pushing the pipe pretty hard up...any thoughts?

Thanks.

 

Are you talking about xp550 or xp850

 

Mine was leaking and I doubled up on the springs (2 on each side). You might need to bend the tabs where the springs hooks on to put more tension on it.

 

Sportsman 600 twin. I really dont think I should be able to see it spin, just doesn't look right, but its the first bike Ive owned so I though this is the best place to ask. Will the tabs bend easy or should I heat them? And Im guessing bend them back eh?? Ill try that tonight and then if that doesn't work Ill get 2 more springs. What about where the pipe turns and heads back? The rubber mount thats there, should it just be snug enough so the pipe doesn't jump around?

Thanks guys.
