It's my only car so I really can't fuck around with gaskets without knowing forsure I have replacements on hand:-(. So unless you can email me a gasket ij tonight then I won't be flushing the motor as I'm changing oil tonight aswell as instaling a new speedo cable.

Hey ij..come to the philly meet this Sunday LOL.

I appreciate the offer ian! I'll pass though as I don't like fuckin with things that ain't broke...my luck, I'd remove the throttle and the headgasket will jump out and kick me in the left testicle!

The left one is too important to me...it's the big one that really delivers the glory shots when I B my L on some T's....the right one I could spare as it's job is to take over when the left one is in training...the right one is just for gaboons alone time (playing fireman).

jdub already answered. Amazing amount of BS people post. Better idle. Get real.

It is an old mechanic trick to use it as an engine flush. Run it for a few minutes without loading the engine, and then drain. Yes, it has detergent, but isn't the best for engine sludge. And on top of that, would you run engine oil in your automatic transmission? Why not? This is not rhetorical.

Hell, I can't leave it. ATF has fricition additives to help clutch packs hold. It is bad for engine bearings, which is why you aren't to drive it, or load it with that in there. Those of you that did, you simply shortened your bearing life. And no, you wouldn't see an immediate deterioration

different clutch material...and not all bikes have wet clutch set up's

Yeah, well I was thinking the bikes with wet clutchs...
Would flushing them with kerosene mess with the clutchs?
