#821802 bulldog (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 15 rear head gasket leaking oil 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Rear head gasket is leaking oil and Im pretty sure I have svs on this cylinder is there any connection in the two or no?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #821807 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 22378 Re:rear head gasket leaking oil 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Why do you think it is a head gasket? Have you had the heads off? I have never heard of anyone having a head gasket leak. May be the chrome rocker cover leaking if you had it off but just leaking for no reason NO. SVS is a another thing is it running bad? If not then check the pipes with a piece of paper. Do you fill the bike with 4 quarts of oil only? A little more info and bike back ground will help.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #821810 bulldog (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 15 Re:rear head gasket leaking oil 3 Years, 5 Months ago   I have not pulled the heads but it is leaking where the jug bolts together mid way up the cylinder dealer also said head gasket it is running a bit off slight loss of power and don't sound right I put a dollar bill at the end of the pipe at idle and it pulled the bill in so hard it ripped it   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #821816 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 22378 Re:rear head gasket leaking oil 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Well how many miles on it? Did you buy it second hand? Sounds like it is time to pull it down. Just finished mine in July before the M&G. You can do it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #821822 bulldog (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 15 Re:rear head gasket leaking oil 3 Years, 5 Months ago   49,600 so 50,000 I have had it about a year it's getting hard to start if it has sat a day or two and now all this what's the fix for svs and price for gaskets and all that heck about tired of it costing me money have already had to replace the front drive shafts and pulley and clutch in 26,000 miles what's it gonna cost me in the next 20,000   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #821828 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

You have to keep an eye on certain things and don't let them brake like the front pulley nut. My problem was one I brought on myself using my bike as a test for ported manifolds and reworked carbs for other guys. Stripped out a manifold bolt hole the threads finally just gave out. So I pulled it all the way down and redid it. I have a SVS cure that is on my site. Click the link above my sig picture and on the first page click the projects button and scroll to the bottom of the page. You can download the cure and anything else you want. BTW you have a PM.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #821833 BikerRon (User) Sour Kraut Platinum Boarder Posts: 4189 Re:rear head gasket leaking oil 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Sounds like the ol' girl was rode hard and put away wet in its early years, and with little maintenance. Most R*s are just getting broke in @ 50,000.   Logged     Last Edit: 2014/09/22 21:12 By BikerRon.   ' width='450' border='0' style='max-width:450px; ' />   The administrator has disabled public write access. #821835 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter!

These things have to be ridden AND cared for.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #821848 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 12885 Re:rear head gasket leaking oil 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Any chance you overfilled the oil on the last change?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
