    Hi guys,
    I’m currently restoring a RC46 my2000, an in the rear crankcase there is a breather system with a plate screwed in the cover. Below the plate a paper gasket.
    This gasket does not appear on bikeparts.com and I would like to know how to buy one somewhere.
    Does anyone knows its partnumber?
    Thanks a lot for your support

    Looking at the parts fiche, the rear cylinder head cover is only sold as a complete assembly. Easiest would be using some liquid gasket sealant or making something out of cardboard or proper gasket material.

    If it is like the 6g, the breather "box" is cast as part of the head and there is only a baffle plate bolted on the inside...wonder if you are talking about the pair valve cover?

    I think I’m talking about the plate’s gasket. Here a picture:

    I think you're looking at making a new gasket yourself. What about RTV on the existing gasket?
