ATHENA Exhaust Gasket for HONDA CR 500 1985-2001

The ATHENA S410210012028 exhaust gasket is designed for HONDA CR 500 from 1985 to 2001. The exhaust gasket seals between the cylinder or cylinder head outlet and the exhaust system. A leak at this point costs power, makes the engine noisy and covers the frame in black marks.
