ATHENA Exhaust Gasket for SUZUKI DR 50 1988

On SUZUKI DR 50 1988, the ATHENA S410150012002 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.
