dont bother with the yamaha gaskets, i use hermetite instant silicone gasket for all the bits on my R1 engine, sump, clutch cover, generator cover
etc. works great, just make sure youremove all treaces of the old gaskets first.
oh and its costs about £3.00 for a tube, you should be able to do about 20 sumps with it.

You need to be VERY careful using silicone gasket like that, especially around areas that seal oil because you can never really get it on even/thin
enough to stop it squeezing out between the joints when you bolt it all back together, so you get lots of lovely lumps of cured silicone washing down
into the oil that can start to clog up the pickup.
Ive seen a friend's ZX9 pickup after he used instant gasket (sparingly in his words) and there was a significant amount of silicone debris that
found its way into pickup, so for the few quid it costs for a gasket I wouldnt risk it personally.
cheers

Go to your local Yamaha dealer and quote part no. 5LV-13414-00-00. It'll only be a few quid.
I REALLY wouldn't use silicone, except on the crank case halves where I would use Yamaha Bond (not cheap but excellent stuff) for reasons
already mentioned. I have know big-end failure on engines where what was a sparing amount of sealant has squashed out of a joint and has blocked
oilways.
And when you do use it, it needs to be applied so thinly that you can see through it....
Spin 'er off Well...
