So replacing the clutch plates on my '84 GSX 250 and as I was pulling off the clutch cover I ripped the gasket. So now a couple of questions. 1. If i didn't rip the gasket could it be reused with no issues? 2. Any tips for replacing the gasket? Only want to do it once!
For a clutch cover I'd re-use it if you didn't rip it. Items that require specific tolerances like a head & gasket due to changes in compression by re-using an old squished gasket are generally single use only.
