hello im havin a valve clearence check done somtime over the winter by a local dealer i've had to supply a new gasket for them because they dont want the issue of ordering parts for the bike ive just got the gasket genuine from elsewhere suzuki part no 11173-30b02 does anyone know if its supposed to have a break in it or be one continuous gasket (i have a break in it) any help would be much appreciated many thanks

what do you mean break? can you post a pic? close up preferrably?

its a rubber gasket that has a join in it its not all moulded in one piece a bit like if you were to cut an elastic band then try to join it back together ill try to get a picture on tomorrow so you can have a look cheers

Here's a picture, it has a join at the top

Many thanks
