Post by: boo on October 16, 2014, 06:02:20 PM: For those that have installed a new tire on the rear of your GT, did you have to replace the exhaust gasket?.

Title: thanks guys
Post by: boo on October 20, 2014, 02:06:42 PM: If I decide to have a gasket on hand, not sure where to order from.
Gona need a drive belt and air filter in the near future also.

Title: thank again
Post by: boo on October 20, 2014, 02:13:37 PM: Guess I should get it done.

Title: update: parts search
Post by: boo on October 20, 2014, 02:48:08 PM: Called Kymcopartsmonster.
The People GTI300 was not listed on their website.
Talked to a sales lady. She told me they do not sell the OEM Bando belt, only after market parts. She said they have a Kevlar belt and I would need to know the exact size of the belt. I would like to find the OEM Bando belt.
The search goes on.

I touted the kevlar belts for a long time but now I strongly recommend staying away from them. They wear the variators very quickly. Race bikes, sure... Not for daily driving tho.

Best way to test it, install everything and start the bike, the kill it by plugging the exhaust by your finger. It'll either hold pressure and go WOOOSH when you let go, or if its leaking you will hear a slight hisss instead of it holding pressure.

Title: Re: rear tire replacement
Post by: CROSSBOLT on May 05, 2019, 01:19:43 PM: Exhaust pipe to head. It's a circular flex type that fitsinto a recess in both the head and pipe flange. Someone one here pointed out you can just slip the muffler off and not have to fool with the exhaust pipe.
Title: Re: rear tire replacement
Post by: Texxan on May 16, 2019, 02:50:59 AM: Thats why I asked...why would you take whole pipe off?
This rear tire replacement is a pain in the ass...two different pullers,new bearing for rear fork,two seals....
Funny thing is dealer had gasket in stock for final drive. (bearings failing in final drive)
