Hello everyone, I just noticed this earlier today when getting home from work. I am almost positive that little crack under the cylinder wasn't there before( i put the black dots because i had to ride my bike approx. 20 miles home after i noticed it and wanted to see if the crack grew at all), but i could possibly be wrong (i hope so). Has anyone had this happen to them and i am i fucked? Any suggestions on how to go about this little crack? Bike runs and sounds fine.:confused:

Watch it. Does it weep. Could just be a casting mark you've never noticed before.
Has the head stud been out at any time?
 
yeah i check it constantly. what do you mean exactly by weeping? giving off a different sound right? if so all seems to be well as far as running and sounding the same. I've had the bike since the beginning of the year and i haven't taken out nor have i had the head stud taken out.Do you know if this is a common place for cracks? Thank you very much for your reply!
