    Replacing downpipes on my CBR600, been an absolute pain. Every stage has fought me and now I'm stuck!
    Need to fish the old gaskets out before I fit everything new and they are well and truly stuck in there.
    Anyone got any tips or tricks to fish them out? Or any advice on how to get this job boxed off so I can get back out while the weather's nice??

    there probably just coked up, a bit of gentle pursuasion with WD40 or similar and a thin screwdriver should do the trick,to lever them out.dont be scared of using a bit of force on the gaskets they will easily bend or mishape making it easier for you to get them just dont attack the ally of the exhaust port to much:)
