No exhaust...
I order 4 exhaust gaskets 2 weeks a go and still don't have them, so after i change the O rings on the cooling manifold. I just want to start the motorcycle without the exhaust to see if I have any leaks, so is going to run without the exhaust?

Re: No exhaust...
while at the shop last summer getting new tires installed they removed my mufflers and then realized that they had to move it to another lift.
Fired it up and moved it without the mufflers, only about 25 feet but for a touring bike it sounded AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Re: No exhaust...
It real run but if it has no exhaust pipes on it and depending on how long you run the bike you stand the chance of warping the valves when the bike cools down.

Re: No exhaust...
Well I got my gaskets today... the question is what can I use to keep them in to mount the exhaust, it's grease OK?
