999 Vertical Cylinder Leaking Exhaust Gas

Discussion in '749 / 999' started by TheJackal, Sep 4, 2023.

  1. Holding my hand 5 inches from the vertical cylinder exhaust manifold area I can feel exhaust gases being vented as a blip the throttle.

    I'm thinking either the round gasket that mates the manifold to the pipe has gone or maybe its the manifold itself.

    Anyone else experience this on the 749/999 ?

  2. Yes painful for me; had my 2016enduro go last year. Cost me over £2,000 for £400 of parts because the bike had to be fully disembled to get too the head gaskets. I will never buy a bike where the engine is the main structure of the motorcycle.
