I guess I will have to order several of those gaskets. This sucks. I know the dealer won't have one in stock and probably won't be able to get it until next week.

 

you should try and replace it. If you get a air leak in thier it could mess with your jetting. You can try running with out it until you find a replacement.

 

Yeah, I'll definitely replace it. I was hoping to ride it this weekend though.

 

Replace It, It Will Cause A Leak. I Work At A Yamaha Dealer, And Every One Of Those Seems To Be Cracked.

 

I ordered two of them today. They are expensive little boogers.

 

Is it a rubber gasket or what. If you dont want to spend however much it is for a new one, go down to the hardware store and buy a gasket making kit, or some gasket material. Then all you need is a blade and you can make however many as you need.

 

It's rubber. I ordered two of them so I could use one now and then take the second one to the hardware store to see if I could find something similar to use in the future.

That's what i was thinking of.

 

there's a gasket in side the carb cap?

Yeah. It's a thin rubber seal that tore when I took the throttle cable off to install my tall bar kit. It helps to keep the cap sealed so you don't suck air through the top of the carb. I ordered two new ones but they have not come in yet.

 

Just go to Home Depot or Lowes, and get some thin rubber washers. I found them for 35 cents ea. They will last much longer than the stockers.
