Y gasket question....

[wyliec]

I had mine replaced with Honda gaskets on my 2008 GS around 9,000 miles. After 25,000 miles, the left side panel below the Y panel is much hotter than the right side; I can't keep my hand on the left side panel. I take that to mean the left side Y gasket has deteriorated? I've never read on here how long the Honda gaskets last; so, that's why I ask.

I replaced mine at around 9000 on my GS ( OEM I think , dealer did it) and at 20,000 I think one is gone again . Are the Honda proven to be better ?

The Honda replacement gaskets worked better and held up longer than the BRP ones on my old '08 GS.

, and the two other posters proved it ....9,000 miles = OEM ...16,000 mi. = Honda ......... Mike

I wrote the DIY thread for replacing your OEM gaskets with the Hondas... and even included pictures. This was for a GS/RS.

I know that BRP did improve theirs after a bit, but I'd still use the Hondas. I had 25,000 miles on the Hondas and they were still good when I sold the GS.
