Good To Know

Q: Does this gasket require sealant during installation? A: Most head cover gaskets install dry, but some riders apply a thin bead of gasket sealant at the corners for extra security. Follow your service manual for the recommended procedure.

Q: How do I know if my head cover gasket needs replacing? A: Oil trails around the valve cover, a burning oil smell, or visible seeping at the head surface are common signs. Replacing the gasket during top-end work prevents recurring leaks.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
