Valve cover gasket leak fixed....OOPS!
« on: March 23, 2016, 08:21:16 PM »
Just had mine at the dealer for a leaking valve cover and TPMS issues. Fixed under warranty. The bike is a 2010 that just turned 40k Mi today.

Kawasaki gave them a list of gaskets and O-rings to be replaced. 16 Pcs in total.

1 - Gasket, Head Cover, 11061-0263
4 - Gasket, Head Hole, 11061-0977
1 - O-Ring, Pulser Cover, 92055-0086
7 - O-Ring, 92055-0187
2 - O-Ring, 92055-1639
1 - Grommet, 92071-0028

That's at the other end from the gas hole I think.

Huge difference.  I was shocked at the subject then said- oh, that is just a valve cover gasket.  Subject/topic should be changed.....

Wonder what's different about the replacement gaskets and the ones installed at the factory. Are they somehow better and why do so many owners have the same issue?
