my bike is leaking little bit of oil from the front engine cylinder head, i am planing replace the gasket, i been looking on ebay for the gasket but not sure which one, does anyone know wat kind of gasket for the engine cylinder head?? can u link the site for me

Sean, download the parts manual. There is no cylinder head gasket. There are just o-rings.
What you could do is check if the cylinder head is torqued down correctly. (which is usually part of a bigger service)

thank for the information. do you know what is the torqued on the head???
i try to look but couldnt see the torqued for it


thanks

see last page of the workshop manual

i found it thanks

Sean,
Use the search function on this site. That topic has been discussed a lot and there are pictures and much information about these small leaks.
Like others said, there is no head gasket. There are two o-rings that for water passages and I believe two for oil passages. The o-rings are a specific material, green in color. They sit in recesses and when the head is torqued, compress to form the seal. Remember to loosen the bolts that attach the frame to the heads, then torque the heads. Re-tighten the the frame to head bolts. You will need crows feet type wrenches to fit on the end of a torque wrench. Another useful tool is to take a combination wrench and weld a socket to the middle of it. That way you can use the box end or the open end as needed. The frame gets in the way a lot so check this out before slacking the head nuts. You will need to look up the conversion for using the wrench on the end of a torque wrench method. It's based on the length of the wrench end and angle from the torque wrench head.
Confused yet? Use the search function and read up on it first.
