Well, the problem I have is oil leaking, occuring through the gasket which stands between cylinder head and main engine body. It is possible to locate exact point of leaking, bacuse it is located on the part of gasket which can be seen through holes on plastic cover. The oil which is in the engine is MOTUL 300V competition 15w50, which is full synthetic oil (the previous owner used total semi synthetic oil, but I foud the engine running way much smoother with full synth motul).
The question is, why that happened ? Is there any known issue with gaskets on 2000 750 kats ? I have to say that I don't abuse my machine at all, even though I don't really know about the prevoius owner. I bought it with 18000 km (11000 miles), now it has 30000 km (19000 miles), and the motorcycle is running great, no problems at all, except this oil leaking. The mechanic says that the engine has to be taken out from the frame, in order to change gasket (I ordered whole set of gaskets), is there anything I should be worried about ... except the cost of whole thing ?
