    Valve cover gasket

    Anyone ever changes the valve cover gaskets on their bike. I was able to pin point the leak and its the second screw on the back cover that is leaking oil. Just wondering if its a real pain doesn't look like it would be to bad except for pulling the tank.

    The manual says to remove the engine but the oil is coming out from around one of the bolts it could just be the gasket on that bolt which is leaking I will try that first and then see what happens

    Tightened the bolt which would have been easier if I removed the tank but was able to get a little tighter. Rode around neighborhood and checked no oil as of now but we will see after a longer ride.
