Thx. Like to ying about Jericho beach this Summer if I can figure out why my Mircon (right side) has a leak where the pipe flange and jug exhaust port meet. It has new metal exhaust gasket, new studs, new exhaust springs. Left side is perfect - tight. Created a gasket and placed it between the flange clamp and the part of the micron pipe head that goes flush with the metal gasket - still leaks. The right, although the studs are tighten down solid, will rock side to side and hit the centre stand(?). Sadly, I might have to put on the stock pipes as soon as I can locate a baffle(s).

Surprise. My neighbour, who owned the bike late 80's & purchased the Microns new, discovered it was the opposite pipe that had the leak and spitting passed the one I thought was effected. Added a washer to the inside stud (where it was spitting) cause the bolt was almost out of thread. I tightened the flange bracked down & it was balanced - perhaps the bracket was bent a bit. The exhaust escaped issue disappeared. 2 cent solution combined with an extra set friendly/knowledgable eyes - can't get any simpler.

I had the same problem with the spring knob hitting my microns. I shortened the knob shaft and re-welded back on the sidestand. :smt023
