Here is a tip for sealing up oil leaks...this works!!! Go to the Toyota shop, buy a tube of "Toyota Seal Packaging 102 (FIPG) Part number 00295-00103
This stuff LOOKS like a regular tube of black silicone.. NOT!!! to seal the weepy PCV vent elbow and grommet...take it apart...clean the parts and cover with brake cleaner...NO OIL LEFT ON PARTS!!! Apply the sealant (liberally) to the parts and IMMEDIATELY reassemble so the parts are sealed wet...use your finger to form a bead around (like caulking a window)..when it dries, it WILL NOT leak oil...
This stuff works miracles on anything where it is appropriate to use silicone sealer...I use it on the cam valley on the Kawis (a place that is very bad about oil leaks especially when running a copper head gasket) It is very strong once set up...it is impervious to oil...

I have put about 2,500 miles on my new Jardine. It's awesome! However when I rode into work today I noticed the welds on the lower front mount are developing hairline cracks. The fear is the will grow with all that thumping. I had new engine mounts when the exhaust was put on too. All I can say is WTF! Has anybody else had this problem or know of a solution? I am thinking of just extending the welds outward and keeping my fingers crossed. |

Unfortunately, thats a common failing of the aftermarket exhausts. Its recommended that the stock front rubber bushing hardware be used instead of the solid metal pieces that are usually supplied with the new exhaust. Get it re welded or see if Jardine will warranty it and then reinstall with the stock front rubber mounting hardware.
I give credit to EZ for touting this recommendation for years now! |

An Exhaust Modification note for any aftermarket exhaust put on a Blast -
The stock hardware was made for an exhaust from hell - the puny aftermarket hardware belongs on a balanced twin or in-line 4 - the aftermarket exhausts are better served with with the stock Blast lower front exhaust hardware. If your bike is older, blow 5 bucks for new stock hardware. You want that puppy to last more than a few thousand miles - right? Don't forget to repack often.

How loud is the Jardine exhaust system for the P3?
http://www.starcycle-usa.com/servlet/Detail?no=211 12
I want something that won't limit HP like the Vance & Hines pipes, but I also want loud so that I'm a more noticeable to other drivers on the road.
I'm also very new to the aftermarket bike exhaust. What is involved with repacking and how often should it be done?
Thanks in advance! |

Dont believe the anti-hype about the V & H. Its got the desirable 1 3/4" headpipe and is as capable as most of the aftermarket pipes.
All the aftermarket pipes are loud enough to get you noticed.
Some dont need to be repacked, but I dont remember which of the ones that are still available that dont need it. Possibly only the D & D. |

does the jardine require a donut gasket? i got one from bumpus over the weekend, but it doesn't appear to fit. |

Do you mean the gasket that goes between the headpipe and cylinder head? Yes. They fit very tight in the head and can take some work getting it in (they even make a special tool for it). Patience and it will go in. Make sure the old gasket isnt still stuck in there. |
