All the nice builds on here made me decide to pull the 125 all the way down and start from scratch heres the start point

[Foxx4Beaver]

Atta boy....that's the only way to go!

Hey guys do I use a gasket sealant with the clutch case or just the gasket 

[Foxx4Beaver]

just the gasket should be good, unless you've noticed it leaking before.

[bens87braap]

never had oil in her yet but both mating surfaces look good thanx

[Foxx4Beaver]

a great piece of advice...if you use the Cometic gaskets, they're rubber coated aluminum, and the rubber acts like a sealant...I've even re-used my clutch cover gasket on my 250 3 or 4 times now.

I've been using that same style of press for about 10 years.
For most bike needs it does a great job.
