My friend got an 08 and the previous owner got the head gasket repaired under a recall. I have an 07 and its leaking so I called Kahuna and they said there is no known recall on my bike.

Anyone has any info?

Its on the head cover gasket, only supposed to be 07's recalled....The 08's should have came with the superseeded gasket part ....

Well mine is an 07 and I called Kahuna, gave them my VIN, they "looked into it" and called me back saying there is nothing pending on my bike.

Are they pushing me away? Or ?

Just because your bike hasnt been issed a recall formally, doesnt mean you dont have a problem, if its leaking its the rubber gasket itself. And when you go to order a 07 head cover gasket youll see that they have superceded the part number from 11061-0247 to 11061-0378. So there is a new head cover gasket part number, humm I wonder why they changed it...

Ive done a few of these on 07's not under warrenty, pretty much every 07 Ive seen has a leak at the head cover gasket. Some worse then others...Most people just bite the bullet buy the gasket and eat the 1-3 hours labor to swap it....If you really want too you can just remove the current gasket, clean it really well, and silicone bead on both sides before re-installing it and it will seal it just fine...Its only about $30-40 if I remember correctly
