AdministratorI’d take it to a mechanic. Best case they’ll pull the head apart and replace the gasket. But you need to have them pull the head and check the motor studs. If one (or more) have pulled they will need to put certs in the block. If one has pulled and they don’t cert the motor you’ll keep blowing gaskets.

SubscriberThanks Steve, I really appriciate all your advise.
What is your opinon as far as if I am going to take off and replace all the gaskets on the rear head, should I just go ahead and replace the ones in the front? There is roughly 2-3000 miles on the bike.

SubscriberSteve, What are “certs”? and where would they go if needed?

AdministratorSorry those are thread inserts. If the main head studs (steel) have pulled out of the motor case (aluminum) They drill a slightly larger hole in the case and screw in steel inserts and then thread the main studs into the inserts. Some claim this is actually stronger.
