I plan on doing a head rebuild and check the cam chain tensor as well.

Those are the fixes I have to do to my 22.000 miles bike.

Hello fellow sushi savages

First post here after taking the valve cover off

I found out none of the bolts holding the valve cover are original. Just long and short 5 mm Allen head bolts you can find at hardware stores. I have added some photos for your viewing pleasure.

Any comment is well accepted even critics. This is my first bike and first hand experience owning a big (er) motorcycle. Huh

The problem is oil is leaking into the cylinder and fouling my spark plugs and leaving me stranded everywhere. I know the problem might be valve seals or rings. I first hand thought it would be the oil plug problem but that seems to be solved since it looks like it was sealed with permatex.

No way it can be the plug cap. Under that is a head nut and it doesn't enter the combustion chamber. No way it can be anything up in that area except valve stem seals. You have to pull the engine out of the frame and then pull the head off (6 nuts total) and of course pull the cam. Once you pull the head off the problem should be apparent by visual. Take pictures as you progress deeper into it. You should have a shop manual for reference and get the valve timing correct.  I have both (New) head gaskets and 4 valve stem seals for sale if you need them. $35.00 plus shipping.
