Typically made from either metal or temperature-tolerant fiber, and found between the exhaust port on the engine and the pipe running out of it, they're designed (given the right bolt torquing) to do more than just seal that connection. They're also built to withstand the extreme heat produced when the engine runs.

In short, they help to seal the engine's headers and direct hot gases out of it, through the exhaust system. This not only helps prevent exhaust leaks. It also helps keep that excess heat from melting parts and destroying your engine. Put even more simply, it helps make sure that the BMW bike you love performs at its peak.

Sadly, an exhaust gasket can wear out over time. Not only does this enable releasing harmful gases into the air. It can also put your motorcycle's engine at risk of damage -- and put you in the service bay at a BMW motorcycle dealer, on the hook for costly repairs. Fortunately, you can keep that from happening -- if you know what signs of gasket failure to look for.

How to Spot Faulty Exhaust Gaskets

Look (and listen) for:

Louder-than-usual exhaust noises
Poor engine performance
Worsening fuel economy
The smell of fuel around your bike

Notice any such symptoms, and you shouldn't take chances ignoring them. Inspect your exhaust. Then, swap out any trouble gaskets for OEM replacements double-time.
