i just got my gasket kit in for my 85 200x...is there any place i could find out where the gaskets go or is it basically trial and error?

I would think it would be obvious but what do i know. You can go to www.bikebandit.com and pull up a microfiche of the engine to help guide you or look in the manual.

do not put sealent on them i did on my 200es. ended up having to tear it down again and some gaskets were destroyed. had to make new ones out of cork gasket paper
