Need a head gasket

[bufallobiff]

For a '79 F model---Where can I get one ?

You may have to buy an entire aftermarket gasket kit from Partsnmore or get an expensive OEM head gasket from Yamarobber.

Also, ANY xs1100 head gasket will work on any model. The exception, I THINK, is the XJ because of the YICS system. But please don't take my word on it, as I have NOT worked on an XJ.
If you look, you may find copper head gaskets, but I don't know what they get for them now.

You can use the XJ gasket. You just would have to trim off the little addition for the YICS. Simple and easy.

The XJ Gasket will work on the XS. Has an extra piece that has to be trimmed off. Use to be lower cost for the aftermarket set but they figured it out and equalized the price.
