Default clutch release cover gasket

So im still waiting on my ape so i decided to start putting on a few cables till they come in. I bought new clutch release cover gasket and put on the new clutch cable, however forgot to run the cable where i wanted it so took the cover off again and reused the same new gasket. Is this okay? or will it leak?

I've reused them in the past and they never leaked. Just make sure you tighten the bolts up good.

I just changed the clutch cable also and reused the gasket.

For the price of the gaskets for areas like that, reuse them as many times as you can. For clutch cover and primary chain inspection covers, I always have a spare but reuse the existing. If it ever starts leaking, then it's time to change it. Obviously for a gasket that takes more than a couple of minutes to change, that could be a different story. . .
