When my bike got a porous clutch cover oil leak (like a couple other guys on here) after going at least 5,700 miles completely dry. I started doing a little research, apparently the rc8 motor suffers a lot from this. So the rc8,1190 adventure and super dukes that all share that engine case, are suspect. Even though my clutch cover was replaced and as of yet isn't showing any signs of leaking. I can't feel content that the issue is a thing of the past. Will this case be good from here on out? Or will it go 5,700 miles before the next leak or less or maybe even more?
Gaskets I can work around as far as stopping a leak, usually with Honda bond ht or three bond 1211. Yet I have no idea how to stop a porous casting from leaking. I have 10 months left under warranty, if everything is corrected by then and everything goes smoothly from there on out, I'll be happy considering I went against my own rule to never buy the first model year of a car or motorcycle.
