The engine that drives your BMW motorcycle depends on gaskets to help seal its many connecting points. They fit in -- or over, depending on the part -- such components as the oil pan, manifolds, and cylinder head. That enables them to keep fuel, gases, coolant, and oil where it belongs -- in your engine, and not leaking all over the bike you love. Gaskets also help keep contaminants from infiltrating the engine, causing trouble, and damaging parts.

Gaskets are typically made from silicon or composite materials that allow them to seal the parts off while standing up to a range of temperatures, pressure changes, and chemicals splashing on them. However, they can eventually wear and tear enough that they no longer work as well as they used to. That's when they need replacing.

How to Spot Faulty Gaskets on a BMW Bike

Keep an eye out for signs of failure. They include:

Power loss
An overheating engine
Oil leaks
Excessive exhaust smoke

Just be sure to stick to OEM; they'll come guaranteed compatible with your motorbike, providing the quality, fit, and performance you've come to expect.
