    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

I am having a lot of oil seepage from the head gasket and the gasket where the head attaches to the engine block. Does anyone now where I can get an affordable gasket kit that does not come from www. oldbikebarn.com? The one that old bike barn is selling is an athena gasket kit, anyone know anything about it? Thanks

Forgot to mention that the bike is a '82 850.

Thanks

I got the set ordered and hopefully that will stop the seepage problems.
 
Pay attention to where all of the O rings go when you take it appart Write notes if needed
 
I used a gasket kit from Old Bike Barn recently and it seems fine, no leaks and I have about 500kms so far on the bike. Hopefully, it will be fine.
 
jlmoulto:

You ordered something from Old Bike Barn and actually got it?

Word around here is that OBB doesn't play nice -- check the deadbeats forum.

Glad you got your stuff, though.

The Athena gaskets are OK, but I think Vesrah is a bit better. I've had no problems with either.
 
Yeah I know, but got in a situation a few weeks ago where everyone I called had a three - four week wait on the kit and I was in a rush to get the bike together. So, I ordered on Mastercard knowing I could file a complaint if it didn't arrive, however I got exactly what I ordered, witha UPS tracking number so I could track the package. I know I took a chance, but it did work out. Don't take my words as any endorsement, however. I know what it is like to get taken....Try Speedmoto Company...pain the the behind and never sent the parts, now ignoring me.
