Spooge out the header normal at all?

[TAT2]

Hey all,

New to the bike. It's a 220. Full FMF pipe and header. It seemed to be set up a little rich. But is any spooge leaking out the header at the engine normal? Any ideas if it's not? New gasket or something?


Thanks for the help!

it should not come out the header

there are 3 parts to the seal, there is a copper gasket that sits in the cylinder, sandwiched between the head of the pipe and the cylinder itself

on the head of the pipe there are 2 O ring style gaskets

and the two springs keeping the pipe in place

I would check the springs, make sure they are still tight and replace if necessary
lots of people will also apply a thin coat of high temp RTV over the O rings to get a better seal

Thanks! That's what I thought. I will remove it and replace everything. I assume FMF sells the o rings etc?

Fmf sells the o rings. You may also find them at Rocky Mountain ATV.

Thanks! I will order them up!

Not to dredge this up again..... But can the spooge out the pipe be due to a leaking main seal ? Sorry if this is crazy......
