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.
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.
