Right, im fitting a 1242 to my cinq over the next week or so. Im planning on replacing the rocker gasket (as pete suggests in the sticky) but I only just changed the gasket on my 1108. basicly only 2 weeks ago and have done probably around 100-150 miles on it. so would it be ok to reuse this one seen as its hardly been used? or do i need a new one?
Technical Can I use it again?

Should be fine if you clean it shouldnt it. Theyre not expensive, you might as well get a new one though. 
agreed they are inexpencive but £4 is still money and thats what i dont have alot of at the moment and I will need to buy a bunch of other gaskets aswell for when i change some other bits and bobs, still have to buy new plugs, oil filter, and all that sorta stuff. as well as oil, a few more tools, prob gonna rent out an engine hoist too etc.
so £4 makes all the difference

Its a fair point having said that...
But when I swapped my 1242 in, around half of the costs was service parts, like clutch, headset, cambelt tensioner, belts etc...plugs, fluids.. And my end costs was around £250-300..

I want to take the rocker off anyway and colour code it so will need to sort the gasket anyway.

say its the bit that holds the oil filter/ front engine plate they should get a pic up on the screen and you can point.
might be cheeper to get a full gasket set from a motor factor, and sell the gaskets you dont use on ff for a profit, or use the rest to fix head gasket on the 1.1,
also saw a 1.1 head going for £40 odd pound on ebay last night unskimed so if you dont fix old engine you could get a bit of money back that way
