BMW Motorcycle Intake Gaskets

The intake manifold gasket is a critical part of your motorcycle's operation. Put simply, it seals the intake manifold to your engine. That prevents debris and dirt from getting in. More importantly, it keeps essential fluids from leaking out.

Since the intake gasket is exposed regularly to oil and coolant, it needs to be made of a durable material such as cast iron, steel, or aluminum, or an aluminized steel that's been coated with a carbon-based rubber compound. However, gaskets are still prone to wearing out with time.

How to Spot a Faulty Intake Gasket

Signs of trouble include:

• A rough-running engine
• Your engine overheats
• You notice fluid leaks in the spot where you park your motorcycle
• The "Check Engine" warning light comes on
