Rocker cover cylinder sleeve o-rings - Versah

[GeorgeOC]

Hello everyone, would love to know if anyone has used the Versah brand o-rings that come with the Versah gasket kit for the XS650. I purchased my kit from MM at XS650 Central. I have noticed a significant difference in the new o-ring, compared to the OEM o-ring. Here is a photo. The OEM o-ring is orange, the Versah is the black.

Yamaha Pt. No: 93210-12152-00 1.8x11.5mm O-ring

I'd love to know if anyone has used them without issue, or if its a better idea to find some OEM replacements...

You can just re-use the originals if they're not mangled up or damaged. If I don't pull the sleeves during a rebuild, I don't even bother replacing those o-rings. I have used the Athena replacements in the past but never the Vesrah ones. That's not a real leak-prone area. If any oil did get by it would just come out the top of the stud, but the copper, brass, or rubber seal washer up there would stop that.

Well hows that for great news. Thank you 5twins... I greatly appreciate it! Now back to assembly...
