Exhaust gas leakage, question about gaskets
'lo
Last night I, to my surprise, found out that i have a (minor) exhaust-gas leak from where the four pipes connect to the engine.
My question is this: between the pipes and the engine, which kind of gasket serves as seal? I looked in the manual and on the OEM parts website (hondaonline.de) and they only display the gasket as being an o-ring, is this right? If it is, it should be rather easy to just change the four o-rings and away i go!
Thanks in advance from sunny Denmark!

Found it out myself, its a copper o-ring of sorts, only its made from thin copper plate that's been folded into a donut shape ring. This means that the rings are pressed into shape when tightening the exhaust pipes to the engineblock, and as such they are NOT reuseable. Broke a bolt finding that out, the joy of oooold motorcycles
