Today I am wondering about one Maintenance job that is written in the service book. I have searched this forum for an answer I haven't found one that makes me calm about that or to stop thinking. I have on oil leak between the head and the fins of the cylinder. There is also a leak under the cylinder block on the left side on the engine. It isn't bad, motorcycle doesn't leave stains under itself. It just sweats a little. I have to go with a rag and wipe it off. Mileage of mine is now 83k kilo. I have no knowledge if anybody even retorqued the head. My questions are:
1. Should I retorque cylinder head? (manual says to inspect that every 5k kilo, seriously?)
2. Manual doesn't say the way either. There is specification but I don't know if I should loosen those twelve nuts and go within the diagram from the book or only check the torque with set value?
I have oncoming valve job anyway in the dead season and there is no way to go to those nuts I will need to take out cams anyway.
And she still has charging with that SH-572 R/R if you are curious. There is one more thing. Getting a new head gasket might be extremely hard job(in Poland).
