ATHENA Ignition Cover Gasket for KAWASAKI KX 250 1988-2004

On KAWASAKI KX 250 from 1988 to 2004, the ATHENA S410250017014 ignition cover gasket fits in place of the original part. On the left-hand side of the engine, the ignition cover protects the flywheel and the stator. Its gasket keeps it sealed: a crushed or torn gasket lets oil, water or dust through.

Fitting tips

1. Clean both gasket faces without scratching them.
2. Fit the gasket dry; a dab of grease can hold it in place during reassembly.
3. Tighten the screws in a criss-cross pattern, without forcing, to the manufacturer's torque.
4. On an engine where the ignition runs in oil, top up the oil level after reassembly.

Can I reuse the old gasket?
No: a paper or fibre gasket tears or stays crushed when removed. If you're opening several covers, a complete engine gasket kit often works out cheaper.
