just bought a bike for my son we took it out for like 2 hour ride come home park it and there is an oil leak coming from like the rocker cover rear one. there are 3 parts of the rocker cover and its the lowest one. how hard is this to fix and do I have to pull the whole motor out? is this the head gasket or just the rocker gaskets? where is the head gasket?
Thanks man... been away for awhile but Im back in the saddle again!!!

Check for clogged vents first, I would grab a manual to have on hand
I believe you can sneak them off but dont count on me I never did one

what vents? you mean by the air cleaner?its leaking from the left side of the motor it looks like other side from the air cleaner. bike has only 6000 miles on it must have sat for awhile

yes those and I believe there is a crankcase vent also
Most likely the gaskets are dry and need replacement

Those valve cover gaskets are easy....remove gas tank and remove the Allen head screws.
The back head is the hardest and you will either need a ball type allen wrench or cut one down....cuz one screw is hard to get at.
