Valve gasket?

    So I brought my bike to a shop to get a new front rotor put on (I don't have the tools to get the front wheel off and I wanted the front tire replaced anyways), and I asked him to do a valve check while he was in there. I call back two days later and he says he's waiting for a valve gasket? He says it's recomended to be replaced whenever the valves are adjusted, but I don't see anything like that in the manual. Is this legit?

    It's for an 05 510 SMR.
    Thanks

    Unless the gasket is bad, you should be able to re use it for years. I've got an '04 510 and am still running the original gasket.

    Haven't had to replace one since the bikes started comming with them in 2004. 5 years later still have the 2 that ordered for spare parts. Later George
