Out of warranty thanks to a year in the desert. Had her in for the rear brake recall, (they did the headlight knobs as well), and asked them to look for an oil leak. They pointed it out, left front corner of valve cover. The damn thing was replaced at 15k service, and they just did the 24k to include valves 1,100 miles ago. Dealer said he would bring it up to Kawi the next time he talked to them.
I know there have been a LOT of postings on this, but I wasnt able to find one where someone with a green shirt on acknowledged that a gasket should last a bit longer than this.
