What is the difference between the two base gaskets included?

The kit includes two cylinder base gaskets. One is the same thickness as the original equipment (OEM) gasket. The second base gasket is 0.1mm thinner, which can be used for fine-tuning engine compression.

Does this kit include gaskets for the entire engine?

This is a Race Gasket Kit focused on the top end. It includes the cylinder head gasket and cylinder base gaskets. It does not include gaskets for the crankcase or other engine components.

What type of riding applications is this kit intended for?

Athena designed this kit for popular Motocross and Enduro applications. It is suitable for both 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines used in these off-road disciplines.
