So, gots me ol' scooter in the shop..
Had an oil leak from the right side of the front cam cover, so I took it in to get it fixed.
Get a call today and they said the cover is "warped". Doesn't sit flat.
So, $230 for a new cover.

Anyone ever had this happen?????

Oh, 03 VRSCA with 12K on the bike.

The was def a cover/head leak. It would seep out about the second bolt area.
I asked the same thing, why would it warp now? The service manager looked at me and honestly told me he didn't know why, but it's warped.

The bike did pretty much sit for the last few years- maybe ridden 400 miles since 08. And I more than tripled that in the last month that I had it. (100 mile round trip to/from work- and I ride ALL the time). That combined with the fact that I really put the bike thru it's paces the first week I had it (you guys know it will do 130 pretty easy?? At least that's what I read...I would never go that fast....no, not me....never....:angeldev:).

I dont have the tools/space to dismantle the bike to that degree to fix it myself.
