ATHENA offers this valve cover gasket for KTM SX 450 ATV, SX 505 ATV, SX-F 450, SX-F 450 RACING, XC-F 450, XC-F 505 from 2007 to 2012. The valve cover closes the top of a 4-stroke engine, above the camshaft and valves. It comes off at every valve clearance check.

Why replace this gasket?

The benefits:

• A hardened or pinched gasket seeps: the top end gets covered in oil and dust.
• A new gasket guarantees a sealed cover after valve adjustment.
• An inexpensive part to have on hand at each check if the old one is damaged.

Why choose ATHENA?

Athena, original-equipment supplier to KTM and Ducati from Italy, laser-cuts its gaskets from materials designed for heat, oil and coolant.

When should you replace the gasket on your KTM SX-F 450?

An oil or coolant leak, seepage around the cases or a loss of compression signal a tired gasket. Having the kit to hand means the bike is never stuck waiting for one missing gasket.
