So i changed my oil today and took my pipes off to clean around areas you cant reach and the pipes . I reinstalled the pipes and started the bike and noticed smoke coming from the engine where you bolt the exaust to. Is this a bad gasket or bad install? Did i F something up? Gaskets looked alittle beat up

Installing pipes properly is a must. In the HD manual they give a procedure and need to be fallowed. I all so recommend changing the gaskets.
