Athena Top End Race Gasket Kit R2506-065 — Kawasaki KX85 2014-2025

Product Description

Whether you are performing a mid-season refresh or prepping your bike for the starting gate, the Athena Top End Race Gasket Kit is the professional choice for reliability and performance. Specifically engineered for pro, semi-pro, and dedicated amateur riders, this kit provides the sealing integrity required for high-stress racing environments.

The kit features a top-of-the-line MLSS (Multi-Layer Stainless Steel) head gasket that ensures an airtight seal under extreme heat and pressure. To give you a competitive edge, Athena includes two or more premium-quality base gaskets of varying thicknesses. This allows engine builders to fine-tune the deck height and optimize compression ratios, giving you the flexibility to choose between running standard pump gas with stock compression or high-octane race gas for an aggressive compression boost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why are there different base gaskets included?
A: The varying thicknesses allow you to adjust the "squish" or deck height. By changing the base gasket thickness, you can raise or lower your compression ratio to suit your specific engine setup and fuel choice.

Q: Is this a complete engine rebuild kit?
A: No, this is specifically a Top End Race Gasket Kit. It focuses on the primary sealing components for the cylinder head and base and does not include items like valve stem seals or internal rubber o-rings.

Expert Pro-Tip: Always ensure your cylinder base and head mating surfaces are perfectly clean, dry, and free of any old gasket material before installing these new gaskets. Using a light coat of high-temperature copper spray on your gaskets can help ensure a perfect seal in high-vibration, high-heat racing conditions.
