Will I need Gaskets?

[dooner17]

I'm going to be putting a cam chain in a KLT160 and a 200s. Wondering if I'll need any gaskets in doing this. Also is it common for these bike to need new cam chains. Seems every four stroke I get needs one.
Thanks

Yes inless you get the head off without tearin the gasket, timing chain you mise well change it since it will be apart

the 200s it is possible to change the cam chain with just some semi-liquid gasket maker (NOT RTV!!) the stock caps on the heads used semi-liquid stuff from the factory and the cdi-unit will be fine with some on the backside of it.

ok, I think me and my friend are gonna do it tomorrow night (the 200s) . He has a flywheel puller so that will be handy. I just put in a bid for a cam chain for the 160. I dont see what you mean by terrin the gasket. which one? Theres the chain cover on the left side of the head and ive already had it off. And the bottom end shouldnt need a gasket as far as i know. Any more help appreciated.
