I tried Condor's theory of buy as you need and ended up spending far more than this.

Depends on what you're going to do. If you're doing a frame off restoration, then of course buy the assortment. Most folks can get by with clutch, middle gear, stator, and valve cover gaskets, and not all at once..... :2cents:

My 85 has a weak #2 cylinder. I picked up an engine from an 83 for $130.00 with the carbs. I want to do a complete rebuild of that engine and put it in the 85. The 85 runs good even with the bad cylinder but I want it to be 100%.

Nice price on the '83..:thumbsup2: What's the matter with #2 ?

2nd gen valve cover gaskets will also fit 1st gen motors.

 

$17.80 apiece + shipping from http://www.partshark.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=47209&category=Motorcycles&make=YAMAHA&year=2000&fveh=943

 

Item #35

 

They have a lip around the gasket that makes them easier to install supposedly.

 

I didn't use them as I thought they would not be as cosmetically attractive with lip, since I was exposing the motor with the Bikini mod to side covers.
