I think they should be dry fitted to a very clean, very flat and very dry surface tbh. I dry fitted my 125 head gasket and it doesn't leak. These gaskets have a black finish on them, that black finish is the actual sealant!

Up till a couple of years ago when you bought a genuine Yamaha head gasket it was a thick single piece gasket with a sticky tar like finish both sides and they used to seal 100% without any sealant.
The last couple of genuine Yam I have purchased are these horrible multi-leaf metal contraptions (exactly the same as pattern ones have always been) and I find they need a thin smear of either clear silicone or I have used a thin smear of 3-bond either side which both worked well.

i always use genuine yamaha on mine, but find that the multi plate leaf comes apart and leaks so always use a bit of sealent  |
