Yes, it's me again, the person who bought the FZ600 and is having
problems with it.

My newest question is this;

	This morning I noticed that there is oil leaking out of
the valve cover (near where the exhaust pipe clamps to the head),
on the left, outer cylinder.  There is also oil blow by on the inner
surface of the faring in that side.  The other side is showing a
little oil, but on the engine only and not the faring.  My question
is, could I have a blown head gasket, or something worse?  Or is
a little oil leakage like this normal?

	Any help would be greatly appreciated before I take the bike
into Yamaha again.  Their test riders get more time on the bike then
I do.

					Thanks,
