Good To Know

Q: Is this an original Yamaha part? A: This is an aftermarket head gasket cross-referenced to OEM part number 65U-11181-00-00, not an original Yamaha product. It is designed to match the fit and function of the factory gasket.

Q: Should head bolts be replaced at the same time? A: Many technicians recommend inspecting head bolts and following the manufacturer's torque sequence and specification when reinstalling a head gasket. Reusing stretched bolts can lead to premature gasket failure.

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