I need to do this, mines still leaking.

Washers on the 2 left bolts fixed mine. Had about 4,000 miles on the bike.

yep mine had 4200 on my 07 with the same problem

Never a leak, no washers installed here at 15,000 miles. I almost hate to take the valve covers off to check the valves.

Mine leaked took it to kawasaki they put a new thicker gasket on it and that fixed the problem.They told me there's been a few valve cover leaks and kawasaki now makes a thicker gasket to replace the one that came on your bike.

Well that's good to know-NOW they're making a thicker gasket.Okay....next replacement...a new gasket.For an update-I just checked the parts listing for the 2007,and compared to the 2010.Apparently,they HAVE corrected this problem.The 2007 gasket number is 11061.The 2010 model gasket number is 11061A.Okay-thanks for participating there cwrobo.That has cleared up my thinking on this issue. (I love it when I'm wrong!)Next poll...."Should Kawasaki pay for a new gasket and install for previous model years experiencing gasket leaks?"...whattaya think guys?

No because then they will insist that it be done by a "qualified" service tech.

Long as it's free,why not?Most o'those techs out there now have worked on a 14 somewhere along the line.I'd do it if they offered.Course,they won't.But still......When I get my valves checked again,I'm gonna have my guy install a new gasket-the 2010 model one.

Next poll...."Should Kawasaki pay for a new gasket and install for previous model years experiencing gasket leaks?"...whattaya think guys?

There's no way they are going to pay for this unless the machine is still under warranty.

I know they won't....now,if you could prove that oil seeping out ended up on your back tire somehow-and,well...you know the rest...they just "might" consider it!I'm not gonna wreck my bike however for a cover gasket!
