Gasket Kits for Suzuki Motorcycles

Long before the Suzuki Hayabusa and DR650 motorcycles and Suzuki King Quad and QuadSport ATVs became powersports favorites, the world’s 11th largest automaker began in 1909 in a sort of unlikely field; the silk industry. Ever since the days of early world exploration, Japan was legendary for their silk garments and textiles. At the beginning of the 20th century, company founder Michio Suzuki founded Suzuki Loom Works as a builder of weaving looms. In 1929, Suzuki invented a revolutionary new style of weaving loom which quickly became popular all across the world. Suzuki spent its first 30 years mass-producing these machines. Not one to rest on his laurels, Suzuki believed that his company could expand their horizons by offering new products. He created a small, economical car in 1937 to meet customer demand but World War II led to the Japanese government to shutter all non-essential commodities--including Suzuki’s cars. After the war, Suzuki resumed loom production and the business received a major boost once the US government allowed cotton shipping into Japan. However, the success was short-lived as the cotton market collapsed in 1951. Suzuki returned to building motor vehicles and with Japan clamoring for small, efficient, and inexpensive personal transport, Suzuki responded by developing motorcycles and microcars. By 1954, Suzuki’s motorcycle output was at 6,000 units per month. Today, Suzuki is a major manufacturer of motorcycles, ATVs, automobiles, and engines for the entire world market. They are also among Japan’s “Big 4” in powersports with Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha.

Gaskets allow for two or more mating surfaces to seal in order to prevent compression leaks. They’re just as crucial as the bolts that hold together your vehicles vital drive components such as the engine, transmission, differential(s), and pumps. Over time, the stock OEM gaskets can deteriorate from the extreme heat and various pressures from inside the engine. Or, if your machine spends a lot of time unused, the gaskets may rot due to inactivity. When you perform your regular maintenance service on your ATV or UTV, motorcycle, or dirt bike, always check the condition of your gaskets. If you’re doing any sort of performance overhaul, you’re going to need new gaskets. Why put in the effort to do the build properly if you’re going to reuse the old, tired and worn-out gaskets?
