ATHENA Exhaust Gasket O-ring Ø31.34 x 3.53 mm for KAWASAKI KX 60 1983-2003

On KAWASAKI KX 60 from 1983 to 2003, the ATHENA M753504125094 exhaust gasket fits in place of the original part. At the junction between the engine and the exhaust, this gasket has to cope with very hot gases and vibration. Crushed or hardened, it lets gases escape: noise, spitting and loss of power.

Key features

• FKM (Viton) O-ring, which handles heat far better than standard nitrile rubber (NBR).

Specifications

• Brand: ATHENA
• Manufacturer part number: M753504125094

When to replace it?

• Black or oily marks at the exhaust outlet.
• Spitting, a leaking noise at idle, backfiring on deceleration.
• Gasket crushed, brittle or burnt on removal.

Every time the header pipe or expansion chamber is removed, and as soon as a leak appears.

Fitting tips

1. Clean the gasket seat on both the engine side and the exhaust side.
2. Fit the O-ring in its groove without twisting it; a little high-temperature grease makes it easier to push the parts together.
3. Offer up the exhaust without forcing it, fit all the fasteners, then tighten progressively.
4. Warm the engine up, let it cool down and check the tightness again.

Frequently asked questions

Can I reuse the old gasket?
No: it crushes and deforms as it heats up. A new gasket costs little and prevents a leak.
