me again, got another question. I need to remove the swingarm on one of the RSVs (bearing on the bottom of the swingarm has seized, but I have another swingarm with good bearing), and normally you need to remove the rear header pipe to do this, however I have a leo vince full system, which has the usual 3 bolts to hold it onto the head, but the downpipe itself seems to be held against the plate with an exhaust spring.
If I remove the spring to get the downpipe off (leaving the plate on the head) will I need to buy another exhaust gasket, or is the gasket behind the plate and the downpipe just sits metal-to-metal against the plate, like it does further down the full system at the collector area.
