Muffler leak

[jbusa80]

My muffler is leaking it looks like right at the bottom bolt. Its a Yoshi slip on. Anyone ever have this issue or is it a non issue?

There is a gasket between the midpipe and the muffler. Are the bolts tight?

i had a stainless yoshi slip-on on my gs500. it leaked just as your is. didn't come with a gasket either... it wasn't a big deal to me/didn't notice it.

The gasket is in there and the bolts are tight.

Run a bead of High Temp RTV (Red works pretty well) around the end of the pipe and tighten the clamps. The leak will disappear. (Be careful with placement if you don't want red stuff showing)

Thanks, I have some of that in the garage too.

I put the RTV on both sides of the gasket and tightened it up. Worked like a charm. Thanks.
