They loaded up the TG today and took it to the shop for a new head gasket. Any ideas why it would blow a head gasket?

hopefully they cover it under warranty!
I bet it was that "Painted inter fairing", there has been a lot of head gasket problems because of that!!!
I'm sure it will be found that the paint was too thick or the wrong paint, I've heard that will cause all kinds of head gasket problems!!!
Hope they get you back on the road quickly.
Could be any number of reasons the gasket failed, I hope when they have it apart they check both the head and the deck on the cylinder to make sure their not warped.
