toetoe Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) i had a tumble on sunday on my gas gas 2013 and my bike ended up upside down and resting on the end piece of the exhaust, it wrenched all of the screws out except the bottom one so i took it out today to have a look and found that the pipe with holes in it that runs through the exhaust was bent and as i pulled it out to bend it back some of the tape that is wrapped around the packing came off, i'm ordering a new part and thought while i'm at it i would renew the packing, can someone tell me what kind of tape is used, it looks like masking tape to me, from the look of it it's only job is to hold the packing together to make it easier to put together but i could be wrong.

steve_earle Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I've seen a few taped up when re packed, It's just to hold the packing as you said, Masking tape or similar would be fine if needed. It's quite easy to repack these things, There's lots of info on this site if your stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
