Suzuki exhaust gasket?

I need new exhaust gasket and remember someone advise to use Suzuki gasket because the was thicker and easier to get it air tight.

Do I remember correct? Do you know the part number?


thank you

Just ordered another set of those yesterday...

Ebay item 401309439864 (10 pack).

It helps to spray a light coat of repositionable contact adhesive on one side before sticking them to the head so they don't move.

Those K&L gaskets are Made in Japan. So they will be good quality. Make sure they are the correct size.

Please explain. I thought all exhaust gaskets are one time use. Are the copper ring type reusable?

OEM Suzuki gaskets might be reusable once or twice. ???  I'd be surprised if they can be reused more than that.  If they seal properly, I certainly wouldn't complain if they're single use. some guys don't like aftermarket but I've never had an issue w K&L parts.

When it comes to size, these K&L gasket is listed to size:
32x42x5.0mm

z1enterprises list OEM replacmeent gasket
To size:
31 x 39.4 x 2.8mm

OEM:
www.partzilla.com/product/kawasaki/11009...472b607db30284563d39

Will the K&L 32x42x5.0mm fit... they are bigger ?

I tried the Suzuki exhaust gaskets on my KZ-1000 but they were too thick.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to start the nuts on the exhaust studs.

Correct!  

www.z1enterprises.com/copper-exhaust-gas...%2Fall-models%2F1981

Perhaps this one would fit better:
www.z1enterprises.com/exhaust-gasket.html

Or perhaps a 10-pack of the same for cheap:
Ebay item 143576808780
