Had a decent 40 / 50 ish mile run on the H2 yesterday, ran absolutley fine, and felt much better with the new IKON shocks on the rear, however.

When I was putting the bike away I noticed droplets of black oil all over the front of the engine, the only reason I can think of for this is that I did not replace the O rings that seal between the exhaust stubs and header pipes.

In previous years I have replaced these whenever I have taken the pipes off, did not bother this time as the O rings looked in good condition.

Ah well out with the white spirit today and clean all the oil droplets off, and then replace the O rings - I have about 20 of them "in stock" so no reason not to replace them - you stupid boy.

Anyone else ever done anything similar, like re use an old gasket only to find it leaks, and then regretted it?
