Hey, its all good. Just so you know, I've got WELL past 30k, I'm at 42,600 miles right now on this motor, so the carbon buildup didnt TOTALLY surprise me.

 

Id replace the head gasket, if your out riding and it blows. Or if it leaks a bit. your going to have another mess on your hands.

 

yeah definitly replace the gasket. As soon as you take the heads off its trash, I know it sounds rediculous and Yes I am mad that its true cause I'm cheap as hell but, its true. I know a guy I went to mechanic school with that was too cheap to buy a new head gasket and damn near blew his motor.

 

shyte. I gotta replace that then. I REALLY cant afford breakdowns on the roadside, seriously.

Where could I get a gasket for less than $50? cause I REALLY cant afford more than that with the way things are going right now.

 

Sooo? Did you get it back together?

 

yeah, and I'm going to have to get a head gasket. it leaks coolant out the back by the #3 cylinder, and I'll then have a bike up for sale so I can buy an F3 that doesnt need work. gahhh I'm tired of working on my bikes to ride them.

 

They have the gasket at cheapcycleparts . com $46 and change for OEM

 

Thanks, I saw that, and I THINK ronayers has it too for the same price. bike is going up for sale real soon too.

 

Dont sell it. Just talk dirty to it when it pisses you off. Fix it and ride it.

 

Thats just it. I'm tired of constantly HAVING to fix it. I'm looking at an F3 that has lower miles, and I know the owner, but I have to sell the cane first, which doesnt bother me one bit if I can upgrade to a more potent machine and not have such a hard time finding parts for it. I know I've always loved the hurricane, but frankly, its just too much work to keep fixing it when I neeed to be working instead, and I need to just have a vehicle I can ride without issues.
