ATHENA offers this cylinder head gasket for HONDA NX 125, XL 125 1971-1988. The head gasket takes the pressure and heat of every combustion. It is crushed when the head is torqued down and must be replaced every time the head comes off.

Why replace this gasket every time it is removed?

The benefits:

• A new gasket guarantees a perfectly sealed joint.
• Material designed to withstand heat, oil and coolant.
• An inexpensive part that saves doing the job twice.

When should you replace the head gasket on your HONDA XL 125?
