my valve cover gasket is cracked and leaking oil

how bad is it gonna suck to replace it? kinda looks like a PITA but

shouldn't be too bad. Take off your fairings, unbolt the radiator and you should be able to get to it.

its not that hard, trust me. after ripping through the rest of the engine, its a walk in the park. the valve cover gasket is hopefully one of the last parts i need to get the bike back up and running. just ordered it from bike bandit, i think it was $33.

Its not that difficult. Can be done in a few hours.

nice. i have had this damn oil leak for a while and i thought it was my oil pan gasket because the front of it always had a little oil on it. little did i know it was leaking from the valve cover gasket, running down the engine and collecting on the oil pan. $33 aint that bad. i just bought a new oil pan and gasket too from v8killaz. guess i better change out as much as i can while the bike is torn apart.

but are copper or aluminum exhaust gaskets better?

hey i have brand new valve cover gasket too
