i have picked up a 400r which has a slight oil leak from the rocker cover. i cant seem to find a gasket. does anyone know if a 500 gasket will be the same

Took the plunge & debaffled my SLR today What a difference in sound, now it sounds like a big single should(poor man's KTM I guess:-)) Will tackle the carb removal for rejetting next Pictures tell the story, not the prettiest but who cares the sound is amazing!!

Need some new rubber, currently running Tourance with tubes Rang around for some quotes and am being told that you can only get the 90/90/21 for tubed application now, and the 140/80/17 needs to be tubeless? I'm confused - can I still run a tube in a tubeless rear Tourance? Thanks.............Sam
