Valve cover gaskets ?

[offworlder]

I need to check my valves, and assumed I should replace the gaskets when I do so. As this is for a 2009 RR 450 (KTM RFS engine), can anyone please provide the KTM part number - so Im able to more easily source it ?

PS: Any recommended intervals re valve checks ?

Thanks.

The gaskets don't need to be replaced every time and will last for a long time. KTM part# 580.36.053.000 Valves should be checked/adjusted fairly often at intervals no longer than 30 hrs of running time. This is necessary primarily due to the too soft stock intake valves in the KTM RFS engine.
