Hi all,
Need some help with what I hope will turn out to be a small problem.
After going for my first spring ride and putting the bike in the garage for its' spring oil change I noticed a small streak of oil on the right side panel just below the valve cover.
Changed the oil, re-torqued the 3 VC bolts, went for a half day ride, came back and noticed an oil streak in the same place.
I assume (and you all know what that means ), that this means I need to replace the valve cover gasket. Aside from the time to remove the tupperware, this seems straightforward and I've already hauled out the manual.
Anyone else have, or heard of this problem?
Am I correct in my assumption that this is the fix needed?
Any help/advice would be appreciated. :bow1:
Thanks
Mark
I know I have a tube of Yamabond around here somewhere...
