Oil pump gasket

Just stripped the oil pump on the Gpz11 for a clean and the FSM says to replace the gasket. It is in one piece and not damaged. Do I need to replace it?
Cheers

Re: Much cooler downpipe

Couldn't really see the colortune due to sunlight but did a sync. No 2 had risen 6cm. Levelled that off with No.1 then had to bring 1/2 down 3cm to match 3/4 lifting the idle as I went to stop it stalling. I starts very well, no popping at all on choke and very steady cold or hot. Went for a quick b...

Re: Much cooler downpipe

Mark, check your Clean Air System. On mine the vacuum solenoid is knackered and is always open regardless of how much or little vacuum is applied so the airbox is always feeding air into the exhaust. The reed valves work but the inner gasket on cyl 1/2 was broken and it was a bit of a mess in there....

Re: Much cooler downpipe

Rigged something up, not very scientific and couldn't be used to do a leakdown test but a way of getting air into the cylinder. 1754497389085.jpg It was leaking but was hard to hear from where then I realised that the vac pipe for the tank tap is cyl 2. Couldn't hear anything but sticking it in my m...
