'83 GS1100 Ignition Breaker Cover Gasket?

[Guest]

Hey guys, does anyone know if the ignition cover on the right side of my '83 GS1100 is supposed to have a gasket between the cover and the engine case? There isn't one on my engine, and the partszilla.com fiche doesn't show one. The cover is part number 13 in the pic below. Just thought I would double check, thanks. -Ed

number 18 is the gasket in question
number 3 is the clutch cover

Try a space, like this # 1

# 18 is the stator cover gasket...

Thanks but I'm talking about part number 13 (for some reason my original post was not showing the text for the part number 13 that I had typed in, and my text was replaced with a dead link).

Part number 18 (stator cover gasket) and part number 3 (clutch cover gasket) do not apply to part number 13.

In the diagram you linked to, I'm asking if there is a gasket for part number 13: "COVER, CONTACT BREAKER, 11381-45412", and it does not show a gasket in between the cover and the crankcase, which seems odd to me as there are critical electrical parts in there.

Contact breaker gasket, my bad. They do have a gasket for that and it's item# 11491-45000

Thank You Nessism !

It doesn’t hurt to have a gasket there just to help keep dust and moisture away from the ignition. I made one out of a cereal box. There is no gasket shown for my bike either.

Ok, thanks guys. My GS1100 doesn’t currently have a gasket there, but I may add a cereal box one as suggested just for the heck of it.

My 1 owner GS 1100 E did not have the gasket originally. I have purchased a few from this vendor over the years......A ok me thinks.

Be as well to. It's main function is to prevent moisture ingress, which can only be detrimental in the long run.
