2004 KX 125 Rebuild
DP3601:
It looks like the previous owner had put a Anthea cylinder kit on the bike. All looks great but I did order a new piston kit and gasket kit for their top end. It comes with two base gaskets. I have tried to contact Athena and ask if I need to have both gaskets put in but have not got an answer. Does any one know about this and if it is necessary to have both?
Foxx4Beaver:
one of them may be thicker than the other, to allow you to change port timing.
I've never used an Athena kit before, so there's a chance I could be wrong...maybe someone else that's familiar with their kits can shed some light on it...or wait until Athena gets back to you.

You need to check your deck height first & then your squish clearance.

Athena finally got back to me and they said they include two base gaskets in their kits, they have the standard thickness and a thinner one to increase compression, but only are suppose to use one. FYI for anyone that might have that same question.

post some pics of your project when you get a chance :wink:...
