Hi guys and gals.  There is at present a half stripped Aprilia pegaso sitting in my garage.  Last night a friend of mine got a warm water wet right foot and the temperature went alllll the way up.  We got the bike on a bakkie and took it home.  I have found the source - water streaming out at at the top gasket.  The motor still turns nicely, so I don't think there is any other heat damage. Still I think I need to do some serious work here.  Any advice?  Can I replace the gasket without taking the motor out?  What parts?  I have heard that the engine is the same as the BMW GS 650 so will a BM gasket work?  Any advice will be great.  Thx.
