Yes that is a good idea but that?s a lot of gaskets.

Grease one side of the gasket and use high tack on the other side and it will come off without tearing and you can use it over and over.

The covers are out of stock so he is looking at either machining it for a bushing or bearing. I guess if he can't get that done he will kick start it until he can get a new one.

GASGAS took the old KTM design that never worked and copied it. lol. By design changing the direction of the drive 90 degrees it's always going to have power robbing problems.
