just bought the vmax 600 on monday and it has a exhaust leak. i went to the local dealer to get gaskets and he said just use silicone. does anybody have thoughts on this? i have to go to the local autostore today anyways and will pick up some copper hi temp silicone. hopefully the dealer has a clue.

No, no , no WTF....you need to find a new dealer,, there IS a gasket for it,#2
the part no is;
821-14613-01-00
go to your neares Yamaha dealer and give him this no.
You do need to use just a LITTLE hight temp Gasket maker on the flange
(flat part on the exh. manafold)

I have not had good luck with the factory ones.
These have worked well for me.

this silicone was not my idea but the mech. he was not the first to say that either. that being said if thats what yamaha had wanted they would of used it first.
