Usually not a gasket but a rubber boot or insulator as Honda calls them. It's attached to the head which gets very hot and the rubber eventually ages, gets hard, and cracks. Unless the rubber is soft and compliant, replace them. This is something I've done on more than one bike and should be checked.
