Gasket of some sort?

MisterDave · DTR Respected Member

no the rubber part that holds connects the DEP end can and the stock main zaust, fixed it :D
but my god this is a fecking problem, I need to just keep throwing money at it :D hahaha
I lost tooo much compression so wouldn't run, what does everyone else have in terms of zaust and connectors?

frogboy · DTR Senior Member

I got the beauuuuty working :D and managed to fit my new front fender :D it is sloooowly looking a lot better and gradually becoming white.
I have bought some zaust wrap to so that will be going on in a bit :D

Stick some exhaust paste between the connections aswell, i picked up a tube of holts gun gum from a local car shop, works very well then wrap it with your exhaust wrap. The paste expands as it is heated and seals any gaps, goes solid too.

I used heat wrap then a bit of bicyle inner tube and 2 hose clips, worked a treat

This was pointed out to me in another thread:

It kind of worked but for the first couple of weeks every time i came to a stop i could smell burning rubber i would get cars behind me flashing their headlights thinking me bike was on fire as it would smoke like a chimney haha. It's now been removed.

Has the wrap worked for you MisterDave?

lol i have had these on both of my dts and had no problems with it was it on a standered pipe?

MisterDave · DTR Respected Member

I have the tail pipe rubber but my compression kept blowing them as the compression was to high, I have wrapped it to reinforce the rubber and jubilee clipped it :D still there at the moment yeyy

Spartan · DTR Senior Member

Yeah couldn't understand it, did the same when i used some radiator hose too - standard front and dep rear. All i have now is just some exhaust paste between the two, seems to do the job.

Cool, can compression be adjusted if it is too high?
