    reed cage gasket

    Howdy,
    Working on a beat up 81 250r. I don't have a gasket for the reed cage. Could I use gasket maker? Would that work ok?

    Thanks

    Go to your local autoparts store (NAPA) and ask for a sheet of gasket material. Take your scissor and punch and have fun cutting your own one.

    Another reed question: My reed assembly has no stoppers on it. Will this damage the reeds? Can I drive it a bit like this?

    Thanks

    When you use aftermarket reeds you generally don't use the stock stoppers.

    1986 ATC250R (sectional pipe and Klemm Research silencer)
    1986 ATC250R (Desert Bike, WAX-ON seat, Dual Cibie lights, Steering Stabilizer)
    1979 ATC110 (Bandito frame and forks, Turbo wheels, disc braked)
    1982 ATC70 (Lifan manual 125)
    1987 LT80 (piped, widened)

    I can send you one, it might be used, but i think it works better than a manilla folder.

    Anytime you guys don't have a gasket (unless it's a clearance issue such as something with gears or bearings), use Threebond/Yamabond/Hondabond or silmilar. Coat both sides with a small brush, let it set up and enjoy the spoils . That stuff seals so much better and more reliable than silicone or form-a-gasket stuff.
