Motorcycle and Scooter Gaskets

Gaskets are essential for ensuring fluids (oil, fuel, coolant) are sealed and compressed within the engine. On motorcycles and scooters, they are present in many places , and choosing the right one is essential to avoid leaks and breakages .

🧱 Types of Motorcycle and Scooter Gaskets

🔧 1. Engine Gaskets

• Cylinder head 🧠
  It ensures the seal between the cylinder and the head → prevents compression or coolant leaks.

• Cylinder base
  Mounted between the cylinder and the engine crankcase .

• Engine crankcase / crankcase closure
  Essential for oil sealing and to prevent air leaks.

• Water pump / thermostat (in liquid engines)

• Valve cover (4-stroke motorcycles)

🔩 2. Variator and Clutch Gaskets (Scooter)

• Transmission cover
  Prevent dust or water from entering the variator assembly.

• Clutch cover gaskets (especially in 4-stroke maxi-scooters)

🧰 3. Oil seals and O-rings

Often used in conjunction with gaskets:

• Crankshaft oil seals → essential in 2T engines

• O-rings for oil pumps, thermostats, oil filters, through bolts
