Hello, im the process of rebuilding my Derbi Senda, going to change the piston rings, do i need to buy a full gasket set for it or just a head gasket?? Unsure as i havent built one before.

You need a 'top end gasket set'. This will contain a head gasket, base gasket, carb manifold gasket, exhaust gasket and any water pipe o-rings you may need to remove if it is liquid cooled.

Thats the site, are all of them included in the full gasket set??
The only ones i can see on your list seperately are the head and base gasket, water pump gasket?
Thanks for reply.

The full set will have everything you need, there will be some left over. You shouldn't need a waterpump gasket (which will be in the full kit anyway). Give them a call, I would be surprised if they don't offer a top-end gasket set (for rebuilding the top-end like you are doing) although the head and base gaskets make up over half the cost of the full kit.

The ones I listed in my previous post are what you should need to do the job.

Most of them are made of paper which you could make yourself, the head and exhaust gaskets aren't.

All you need is the base and head gasket on a derbi. Its direct crankcase induction, so there is no need to touch the carb. There isn't a exhaust gasket.

Wish i had that site when i had mine!
