deep cleanng front sprocket cover gasket question

Hello,
I just bought 2003 Foxeye. Aparently there is a gasket on the front sprocket cover. Do I need to change it each time I remove the cover to deep clean the sprocket and the chain?
If yes where do you buy cheap ones?
cheers
Val

Has been some discussions on this in the past -
http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,16313.25.html
For what its worth mine was in bad shape so i purposely took the remenants off and have not replaced it - but i still wonder if there should be something compressible there.....more for securing the cover as opposed to stopping anything leaking out...
I kept an eye on the bolts and i was not sure if sometimes there were a little loose and needed nipping up...
but think others have had no issues and not replaced them

I've never replaced it, bolts have never ever budged either, as long as they're torqued up properly i wouldn't worry about it.

No need to replace it, just be aware that the clutch take-up point will be slightly changed so you may want to check the adjustment.

thank you all, I will just throw out the old one and will do some liquid gasket, not that it needs any gasket there anyway
