Default GAS GAS EC250 2011 Base cylinder gasket

Hello everyone
I just got a new piston for my GAS GAS EC 250 2011 and the new gaskets. In the package there are two base cylinder gaskets. One is thicker than the other. Which one should I use?

easy answer, compare to the old one. More technical, do a search for "base". Tons of threads on this subject.

I used both on my 11 300. I really liked the way it ran after that.

Some people like going thinner, to reduce the squish and raise compression. Note that the 0.004 super thin one is a shim that is not a gasket.

Is that the transparent plastic one that comes in the Athena kits?
