Top end gasket kit
 
Can you guys confirm that the kit comes with two cylinder base gaskets ? Kit reference is ME94620CT-CAB-1 for 2014 model.

The kit (bag holding the gaskets) came opened with only one base gasket, while the bike had two installed. I'm about to put it all back together and not sure if i should use the old gaskets or the only one that came with the kit.

It's been a month since i rode the bike, i'm loosing patience with all these orders for tools and parts.

Yes it does. Different thicknesses

Ok so that means i can't put the cylinder back on, awesome.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Why not. Pick the right thicknesa

I only received one gasket, not two. I can't but only pick the two old ones, or wait another two weeks for a new kit/gasket.

I just bought one of those kits to my 2014 replica and there was only one base gasket in It.

Do you know what your squish was?

If not I would put the one gasket you have on and check it. Then ride:D

I don't know what it was, and to be honest i really don't want to mess with it at the moment. Squish is a mod that i'll do at a later point, for my skill it shouldn't make any difference if i have the "perfect" squish set or not. The bike is plenty enough for me as it was, and to get the head machined now it will set me back another 2 weeks at least + i do not have the skills to properly jet the bike after. Plus messing with the squish also means messing with the timings and compression, and if you don't get that right you can be in a world of trouble. Even if you get it right, you still have to be careful what fuel you put in, etc. ... i don't race and as i said my riding skills will not notice the difference.

How about i go and use the old gaskets ? They were in pretty good shape.

If there are no tears, I don't see why you couldn't.

What would be the symptoms to look out for if they don't seal properly ?

They looked very close to new, i only had to scratch a very small amount from the cylinder (and by that i mean at the screws that hold the cylinder on the crankcase there were small dots like ground pepper that came off with my finger nail).
