Apparently my exhaust manifold gasket on the SJ was tore and it blew out today while riding..Where can I get a replacement? Im guessing it would just be an oem part I would need to order? Also does it hurt them to ride without the gasket? I shut it off as soon as I heard the exhaust get louder, and swam it to shore to check things out. I loaded it up after that and brought it to the shop.

I can get pics of the exact gasket I am talking about if needed. I just wasn't sure if this would be a special gasket I needed to order from Yamaha or Factory pipe.

Umm...im pretty sure thats what the whole point of me posting my question...I was asking where to buy the gasket, not if I could make one or run without it...my question about running without it was just to make sure I didn't do any damage to anything during the few minutes I didn't know it was blown out.

Factory pipe sells them for $6.00 a piece. Alternatively, you can buy a Kawasaki 650 exhaust manifold-to-headpipe gasket as that is what it is. Factory Pipe used the 650 exhaust as the basis for the design of the B-pipe.

Ah, I just re-read your post. If you are looking for the cylinder-to-manifold gasket, that is a Yamaha part. Make sure that you go with OEM Yamaha parts on that one. Don't skimp as the quality of a lot of aftermarket gaskets is inferior. Make sure you know if you have a 62T or 61X cylinder though as they use different gaskets. If it is a 97+ SJ it is likely a 61X cylinder. I bought an OEM 62T cylinder-to-manifold gasket last year in a pinch from teh dealer and it was $20.00.
