mods?
Perth was cheap when we got here
Genuine gasket from Kawasaki is $110
The chinese pattern item is 1.5mm thick, fakkin wafer
Is the saisei item same dimension as genuine
Thanks

Moderators Peter but that's another story.

Vesrah are probably a little thicker than your cheapo Chinese ones, maybe 2mm. The important thing is that they will seal and wont fall apart

yes the Kawasaki part is pink now they used to be grey & had lead impregnated in the material which is now banned. the new pink gasket absorbs oil like blotting paper but once it has been tightened down a couple of times they are ok & can be re used many times over
