Gasket sets

Who makes the most accurate gaskets? I’ve spent an
hour today repunching a sump gasket, trimming kick-start
& alternator bought in a kit from an aftermarket supplier.

most genuine gaskets are still available if you want to save money buy cheap aftermarket but you cannot buy better than original if you can get them

Sounds like a brand worth avoiding, do you have the name?

Hi guys

the genuine Kawasaki gaskets are the best but Vesrah is allso very good (in my opinion).
