Hey,
Recently just installed the arrow 4-2-2 full system on my z1000 11 plate and have noticed that they were leaking smoke slightly out the front headers so tightened them up a bit more which had stopped the smoke but has a high pitch whistle which sounds like its coming from the engine? I didn't replace the copper gaskets for the front header so do you think this could be the cause of this? Any help would be appreciated Thanks |

just cos you can't see any gas pass the joint don't mean a slight leaks not there.
if you can get it stationary get a length of small bore hose and use this as a stethascope to pin down the location of the noise. why u no put new gaskets then.All that dosh and work then cut a corner .bad man
