Royal Enfield 576298/D – Damper Pin Exhaust Mount for Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650 & Super Meteor 650

The Royal Enfield 576298/D – Damper Pin Exhaust Mount is the genuine exhaust mounting pin used in the silencer/exhaust assemblies of the 650 platform. Official Royal Enfield microfiche for Interceptor INT 650 Euro IV lists 576298/D “DAMPER PIN EXHAUST MOUNT” in the EXHAUST section, used together with 576297/D (damper exhaust mount), 576279/C (damper silencer mounting) and 576324/D (3rd mount washer).

European parts portals show 576298/C and 576298/D assigned to Continental GT 650 Euro 4 and Interceptor 650 Twin Euro 4 exhaust diagrams, with 576298/C officially superseded by 576298/D. 

A Brazilian kit marketed as “Kit de coxins do escape GT/INT/Meteor Royal Enfield” includes 576298/D (2 units) along with the matching hardware, explicitly listing GT 650, Interceptor 650 and Super Meteor 650 as compatible models.

In the official price list, 576298/D is described as “DAMPER PIN EXHAUST MOUNT” under HSN 87141090 (motorcycle parts).

Practically, this pin is the metal through-bolt that passes through the rubber damper to secure the exhaust to the frame. Replacing bent, corroded or worn pins when changing silencers or rubber mounts helps restore correct exhaust alignment, reduce vibration and prevent bracket/stud failures – especially on long-distance or heavily loaded 650s.

Q3. How many 576298/D pins does one bike need?
The Interceptor INT 650 Euro IV exhaust fiche lists Qty 2 for 576298/D per bike.

• You are fitting aftermarket slip-ons or new OEM silencers
