Rear Cylinder leak..can I make it on a 1 1/2 hr. ride to the dealer?
« on: September 08, 2009, 02:32:23 PM »
I just discovered my head gasket leak on rear cylinder of the shifter side. Am I in danger of riding it to the dealer? Its about a 1 1/2 hr ride. It's not losing compression right now.

Check oil and make sure it's full, ride easy and you can make it

I put 6000 miles on a leaking HG. Others have put more on than that too! Don't worry about it! ;)

Hoist! :coolblue:


And those are 6000 Howie-miles.  They're like dog years except the math works backwards.  6000 Howie miles is like 360,000 for everyone else.  6000 Howie miles also equals .75 motors ::) .

I ride with a guy that does that to snow machines. The last thing on earth that you want to do is end up with one of his machines after he is finished with it.  :2vrolijk_21:
