Do I really have to pull the motor to fix valve cover leak?
I was looking at my bike today with out the fairing on it. I was getting it ready to go to my mechanic to fix the clutch issue. I noticed a slight leak at the valve cover! from what I can see I'm going to have to drop the motor to get to it! I this common practice?

it is tight in there, but by no means do you have to pull the motor!

You know come to think of it the leak was right by the cam sensor! My bike is at my mechanics right now ( squealing clutch chatter rings) I will give it a look before I put the fairings back on! I take the bike in naked to make things easier.
That just seems to simple! Let me guess kawasaki is going to charge me more for shipping then for the o-ring ? LOL! I don't care I love this so much!! LOL! Man I have a unhealthy relationship with this bike!
I really think that is where my leak is! Once again KZ you are the man!
