Hi all,
OK, got my exhausts re-capped, as was blowing onto the swingarm
Got a small area where on the connection to the exhaust, seems to be blowing! Which type of heat treated silicon or other substance can I put on to erradicate my ickle problem
Many thanks, in anticipation...

Is it blowing out of the joint? Try new, maybe slightly shorter springs to pull it all together tighter.
Bring it round to mine if ya like for a looksee.

Believe it or not - ordinary bathroom silicone will seal it.
Apparently it was originally developed by NASA for high temp sealing applications.
I use the clear 'cos it's not as messy.
It HAS to be silicone sealant though.
