i got it off yambits so its not the realt deal ... and the base gasket has one of thoes stickers on

 It aint worth using then mate, chuck it in the bin and get the dealer who ordered the base gasket to order the head gasket.

Athena is good to use. But you really ought to be 100% sure it's Athena. Otherwise it will just overheat and warp the head and cylinder again :/

Athena gaskets are all good, I'd certainly vouch for them for both quality and prices, I go direct to their Italy site to buy my gaskets, the Euro is at a good price compared to the Pound, base gaskets are about £4.75, and Head gaskets work out at around £8.50, post was cheap too iirc.

Usually the pattern ones are grey silver. If in doubt mate is it really worth it for a tenner?

Just saves you whipping the cylinder off again. If it were me I would buy genuine Yamaha and keep that as an emergency gasket. I've got emergency bits in my garage. Just in vase the bike seizes and I want it shot ill just bang it together and flog it.

fill it with coolant straight away, dont run it without!

generally people do 3 heat cycles of starting the bike and letting it idle for 15 minutes or however long they choose then letting it cool completely
