i am about to do the plugs and factory air filter, and noticed my valve cover gasket is starting to leak. I got 11k on the bike, is this common with these bikes??
yesis this common with these bikes??
Not only is it commone, several have changed it only to have it still leak. A major PITA for the First Gens, nothing worse than a leaky engine. Mine finally started doiing it and it drives me crazy too.i am about to do the plugs and factory air filter, and noticed my valve cover gasket is starting to leak.

You guys must not be obsesive compulsive as me. That kinda shit makes me loose sleep at night.:BangHead::suicide: I know, I know, i have issues:crackup:
:+1:Your like me 9R, but I think your disorder is worse than mine,lol. My Bloo Angel had a minor leak too after putting her back together from a valve adjustment and after a few days I decided to tear it back down and fix it. I couldn't stand it any longer. Put a new gasket in and applied a thin layer of sealer to all the gaskets. then washed the motor and polished the headers back to new lookin'.:mrgreen: ...Gotta keep up with the 9R's....:badteeth:You guys must not be obsesive compulsive as me.

Actually I did the opposite.....since many members reported leaking after a new gasket I just applied sealant and never bought a new one...so far so good and even if it leaks that's still no better than what many have reported because a new gasket doesn't solve the problem it seems.:badteeth::+1:Your like me 9R, but I think your disorder is worse than mine,lol.
