Does anyone know if you can reuse the exhaust gaskets, or do you always need to replace?
I'm currently modding a standard 2nd can bought of Ebay, will probably be changing it about quite a bit, so would be handy if I didnt have to buy new gaskets every time i swapped.
I know some bikes use crush washers, which cant really be reused.

I reused mine and some 10K later not had a single problem, just remember to recheck the bolts after a couple of rides...

It is suggested to replace them every time but as already said you don't need to unless they're damaged. I replaced mine when fitting the akra as I was buying new studs and nuts for one cylinder and the exhust was off for 3 weeks.

Check for leaks though after fitting to make sure.
