Dumont day trip dec 7th
I got there around 10am on sunday and from the first second my bike was a POS, first spin out it wouldnt open up for sh*t so I took the drain bolt out of the carb to look for sh*t and found the main jet had fallen out
2 min fix and its all good rite? Wrong.
I took her out again and it was friggin flying, juice working great! I go back to camp for a quick check before going on a proper ride a see gas ALL OVER my motor, the line from the fuel solenoid has sprung a leak and every thime I hit the juice its just coating everything, so I figure Ill just not use the nitrous and all will be good WRONG
I got on a 20 min ride with the wife and my buddies girl about half way to the north pole the wifey rolls her quad a good 5-6 time all the way down a decent sized dune, luckily she got off the bike before it rolled so we head back, as im going into the superbowl the bike stutters and starts to die I get out and down towards camp with the bike sputtering the whole time about 20 ft from camp it dies, I figure its out of gas... nope
No coolant The f*cker has yet again blown the headgasket By now I just wanna burn it.
So I spent all day rolling around in the b*tch seat of my buddies rail
The wifey got her first spin in a long travel and absolutely SHAT herself the whole time, Ive never heard anyone scream so loud for so long!!!!!! She was on the verge of crying but still din't want to go back to camp
All in all a bitchin day at the dunes
No pics yet but heres a quick vid of a bitchin wheelie

Are you coating it with something?
I only use stock gaskets and I do spray the headgasket with that gold colored sealer- looks like spray paint. Never a problem since, even with high compression and nitrous.
Stock metal gasket, last time coated with copper coat spray this time with 1211.
Im gonna pull the studs and just and see if I can clean up some of the tooling marks on the gasket surface, when it was machined it dint exactly come up smooth as a babys ass
