Blown rear head gasket.

[kimber45]

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?

Has it been apart by you our anybody else since new?

It has never been apart since it was new. I only drive it to church and back on Sunday.

I bet it was that "Painted inter fairing", there has been a lot of head gasket problems because of that!!! :AGGHH:
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!!! :Shrug:
Hope they get you back on the road quickly.:wave4:

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.
