Best Gasket Kit for KX250?
« on: March 23, 2015, 01:47:34 PM »
Hey guys,

What gasket kit would you recommend.  I got choices between Namura, Cometic and Athena.

Cometic... Is there really anything else?  :-D

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Argh.  Only Cometic kits I can find are for 68.5mm bore.  Not the stock 66.40.

Going to have to take a hit on the kawi gaskets.

I know there will be disagreements, but the only "critical" gaskets that need oem are the head and base gaskets. As for clutch cover, waterpump cover and various other gaskets then ive found that even the cheap ones seem alright. Head and base are always oem for me though.

what year are you looking for? Cometic makes them for practically everything and will cut anything else.
