ATHENA Cylinder Base Gasket for SHERCO SE 125 2018-2025

On SHERCO SE 125 from 2018 to 2025, the ATHENA cylinder base gasket fits in place of the original part. Fitted under the cylinder, the base gasket is more than just a seal: its thickness sets the height of the cylinder, and with it the engine's squish and compression.

Key features

• Several thicknesses available for the same bike.
• The right tool for setting squish, compression and timing, according to Athena.

Choosing the right thickness

Measure the thickness of the old gasket with a vernier caliper and fit the same, unless you are deliberately adjusting the squish. A thicker gasket increases the squish and lowers compression; a thinner one does the opposite. After any change of thickness, check the squish with solder wire.

When to replace it?

• Oil or coolant seeping at the base of the cylinder.
• Gasket crushed or torn on removal.

Every time the cylinder is removed: a crushed base gasket can't be reused.

Fitting tips

1. Clean the crankcase face and the base of the cylinder without scratching them.
2. Fit the gasket dry, centred on the studs.
3. Tighten the cylinder in a criss-cross pattern to the manufacturer's torque.
4. If you have changed the thickness, measure the squish before refitting the cylinder head with a new head gasket.
