Athena gaskets and seals
Now in stock at its Groningen, Netherlands warehouse and available for shipping to dealers throughout Europe, Motorcycle Storehouse has announced that it will now supply the Athena product range of gaskets, seals and kits.
Founded 1973 in Northern Italy as a manufacturer of industrial gaskets, Athena entered the motorcycle aftermarket in 1989 and its range and market profile has been growing ever since.
Athena has branches in Europe, South America, North America and China, "and has become a worldwide player in quality motorcycle gaskets and seals," says Motorcycle Storehouse. "Kits include motor gasket and oil seal kits, top end kits, valve cover gaskets, cylinder base and head gaskets, valve stem seal sets, intake gaskets (head to throttle body), exhaust and muffler gaskets (head to header, header to muffler), clutch and stator covers, and spark plug hole gaskets."
Recent new additions to the Athena range include availability of a new gasket kit for classic Vespa Small Frame models - believed to be the only such kit on the market.
"Made with latest generation materials to ensure maximum tightness and speed of installation, all the engine crankcase gaskets are designed with a central aluminium core to ensure optimal resistance to engine pressure and expansion, while the external NBR rubber coating on both sides allows them to adhere perfectly to the engine surfaces.
"This new Athena gasket series solves the common problems associated with many of the asbestos-free gaskets on the market, ensuring maximum seal and resistance and avoiding oil leaks without the additional use of sealants.

"Liquid gaskets take several hours to cure, and it is challenging to remove residues from the crankcase. Thanks to the Athena kit, the time required for a complete engine overhaul is drastically reduced. The kit is compatible with the most popular Vespa Small Frame applications, including the 50 Special, 90, 125 Primavera and ET3. Our Vespa Classic project also includes a complete range of engine oil seals and loose gaskets for both the Small Frame models and the Vespa 46-61 and Large Frame models."
