Looking for a Concours14 mechanic in the Riverside, Ca area.
I think you meant valve cover gasket and with the amount of oil he is seeing that would be my guess too.Did the leaking start immediate after the valve adjustment? If so I would be wondering about the head cover gasket...
Here is link to Murphs Kits for the C-14 and specifically here is the over sized O-Ring, you get 2 for both sensors. The exhaust sensor though pools oil behind it, the intake sensor is vertically oriented.
Yes I did - the official Kawasaki part is called a head cover - but yes the ‘valve cover’ gasket is my thoughts given the amount of oil leaking.I think you meant valve cover gasket and with the amount of oil he is seeing that would be my guess too.
Thanks guys!. Had to step away from the oil leak issue. And yes the bike was all good after the valve adjustment but, I did have to tighten up a coolant line and buy some more panel screws. I never took the C14 back to that shop. . I will definitely order the Murphs Kits.Did the leaking start immediate after the valve adjustment? If so I would be wondering about the head cover gasket...

I didn't order the Murphs kits yet. I just read your tips 2andblue. I will check the leak on the center stand. Didn't work the bike today on a wood project gonna try to get to it next week. I really appreciate the tips. I am glad I became a member.

Harv - does the leak worsen when put on the side stand vs the center stand?
Left and right edges of the ‘valve cover’ require some gasket sealer to prevent leakage, if out of the left side there is a spot oil pools there and would not be surprised if that’s where it’s leaking.
Also the fact you are not complaining about smoke makes me believe leak is on one of the edges...
