Blowing exhaust manifold
The manifold is blowing and I'm going to reseat it with new gaskets. The old gaskets appear to be somewhat subbon in getting them out. Before
digging too hard has anyone found a better way of getting them out? Fireblade BTW

Cant think of anything other than 'gentle' persuasion with a screwdriver.
One thing I would suggest, (if you haven't already done so) is to buy genuine Honda gaskets.
A workmate of mine who has owned a 'blade for several years says that cheaper pattern parts always tend to blow after a short period of time
whereas the genuine ones don't.

We use copper one's - not original Honda with no problem. The Aluminium convoluted one's wouldn't fit and ended up leaking... invest
in the copper ring type...
