hi guys i have recently bought a zxr 444 and have blown the head gasket was just wondering does it need a special gasket or will a standard one fit?

TTS are indeed your people for oversized gaskets. Remember 444cc bikes not allowed in most club F400. 0.5-1.0mm over usually being the max, before you spend too much money on it.
