    Where to find main crankcasde gasket

    Just as the title says. Im looking for the main crankcase gasket that goes between the upper and lower crankcase halves.

    I checked bikebandit and they dont carry it anymore.

    Thanks for any input.

    Mine fit together with no gasket - just threebond (Suzuki bond, yamabond, it's all the same stuff). I thought all the GSes were like that, but I've been wrong before. Maybe it's a shafty thing. Does your service manual call for a gasket?

      yes i do. I had to rip it all apart to repair a transmission part. Found there to be a paper gasket all th way around. Similar to all the other nasty stock gaskets on the rest of the motor.

        I don't believe the 1000G takes a gasket between the crankcases. 3 bond is what is used.

          Yup, side covers have gaskets but not the crankcase halves. Threebond sealer - 1194, is the stuff.

              You can get that centre gasket from a shop in florida but you have to ride your unicorn in there or they wont serve you.
