    My friend has an Athena Complete Gasket Set for 82 XJ650 YICS that he doesnt need it anymore so he gonna give it to me. Will the gasket set work on my 81 XJ650 Non-YICS for most of the gaskets and o'rings or not at all? Thank you and have a nice day.

    Some will be the same, others won't. You will still need the YICS-specific gaskets, which will cost more to buy seperately than just buying the correct gasket set.
    Get them from Chacal. Athena seems to be sending gasket kits out with the incorrect cam-chain well gaskets, which is causing the heads to not seal correctly.
