valve cover
My beautiful sapphire blue 14 has developed that nasty oil leak from the valve cover. Can someone tell me the washer size that is used for the fix under the bolts?

The washers are actually a cheap, quick, wonderful solution. They have totally and definitly stopped my leak even after several thousand miles all is dry.

So this only affects the early year 14's? I've got an '08 with no problems.......as of yet I'm having no problems -- just want to make sure I won't need to do this too

I noticed the leak on my 07 around10,000mi then did the washer fix around 13,000, I now have19,800 on the bike and have no leak at all. I have to believe that the problem is solved. The whole idea just makes since. If your 08 ever starts to leak I would possibly sugest the same remedy. Quick. Simple and cheap.

find a washer that matches the size of your valve cover bolts shim it and forget it. I had a slight seep afer 11000 miles on my 06 and at 14000 its is seep free.

I seriously doubt if Moble 1 oil had anything at all to do with the leak.
87 in·lb is the valve cover torque spec.
