ATHENA Valve Cover Gasket for SUZUKI RM 85 2002-2023

The ATHENA S410510010007 valve cover gasket is designed for SUZUKI RM 85 from 2002 to 2023. On a four-stroke, the valve cover closes off the top of the engine, above the camshafts. Its gasket holds in the oil that lubricates the valve train: hardened or flattened, it lets oil seep onto the cylinder head.

During a valve clearance check or work on the valve train, as soon as the gasket is hardened, flattened or damaged.

Fitting tips

1. Clean the groove in the cover and the cylinder head face.
2. Seat the gasket properly in its groove; sealant goes only where the manual calls for it (often the camshaft half-moons).
3. Tighten the screws in a criss-cross pattern to the manufacturer's torque, without crushing the gasket.
4. While it's apart, adjust the valve clearance with valve shims if needed and replace the spark plug.

Frequently asked questions

Should it be replaced at every valve check?
Not necessarily if it is still supple and intact, but a hardened gasket always ends up leaking.
