i want to take the top end apart on my 2001 sxr 700, just to spec every thing. so my question is what gaskets are re usable? head gasket, o rings, base gasket etc.
Yes gaskets are re-usable
Sx700 are metal gaskets. Head and base... if stock. If you are taking it apart anyway check out if you have a stock unmodified head gasket. stock will have a pressed brass o ring holding all 3 layers of the head gasket together. If it is there you might consider removing a layer of gasket to bump your compression up a hair. look in the tech section for instructions.
