Hi All,
I have a 2018 961 cafe mkII commando.
I'm just after any advise, went out for a 100k ride this Saturday, oil smoke started and on my return and I noticed it was coming from the rocker gasket, I think it may have a slight split in two places as it was dripping on the header- hence lots of smoke! any advice on replacing and or removing the aluminium rocker cover? 'm in Aus and parts are a challenge, I do have the capacity to draw and laser cut a new gasket myself should I need too, assuming I would with limited resources down here.
about an inch and a half back from the front, I've just noticed what appear to be two small breaks in the gasket, and it also appears to have crept out at the front as well slightly?
what are the challenges in replacing these? any advice much appreciated, I'm not much of a mechanic but happy to have a crack, I've had the tank off a lot in the time I've had it replacing all the shit that needs doing.
it's only done 900k's and it was sitting for a few years unsold until i got it 2 years ago now. with Covid and our rains I haven't been able to ride it much.
