I have a new xs1100 head gasket. Anyone can tell me whether or not I could use that head gasket and cut the portion for the YICS ports out of hi-temp gasket material?Comment

Good time to do away with the YICS. Find a way to plug those ports. I would.79SF

You wouldn't want to leave a real YICS tool in there as the rubber isolator bits would melt and whole thing would fall out. That would be quite a waste of money. You can leave the YICS eliminator device which is basically just a solid rod.Ken TalbotComment

Look for some post by TRBig, he has an XJ and found a different way to seal off those ports permanently. See post number nine in THIS thread. If the head is already off the bike, this seems like a fairly simple, effective way to eliminate the YICS.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

That's who I wound up buying from. But even with it installed, I'll still have to figure out a way to plug the head ports. A Gasket was my original problem and the Yahman tool doesn't solve that portion yet.
I saw in another thread and linked here as well about allen head set screws in the ports. Probably run that route for now.Comment

No, that's the one I was referring to in the beginning. I had forgotten that there is ANOTHER tool that is meant to be removed.1980 XS850SG - Sold
