Hello,
I have a problem with my Griso 850 -06. Last autumn i did a large service to the bike, including setting the valve clearances. Of course i put new gaskets on the valve covers (bought on ebay, not oem), and made sure the mating surfaces was totally clean. Last week, the bike started developing a small oil leak from the left valve cover and a few days ago it started leaking from the right cover too (quite large amounts of oil). When i removed the covers today, it looked like the gaskets had collapsed INWARDS on both covers... Anyone that have any idea what could have happened? I have tried blowing compressed air through the breather hoses, and they do not seem clogged. Anyway, i figure that a clogged breather would have blown the gaskets out and not in... New gaskets are ordered, but i would need to know if there is something else that might ruin them before i put the new ones in.
Thankful for all help!
