Does anyone know where you can get a gasket kit???? More, specifically, the head gasket and top cap gasket. That is what the dealer tells me he needs and is unable to find them.

I believe that Cometic may make them too. Check with R&S first, but Cometic is a good 2nd place to check.

R & S doesn't have them but they are trying to get some. How do I get ahold of Cometic??

Yes, I talked to Jeff and they did not have any. He told me to call R & S or check with Cometic. Oh well.

Thanks for your help on this issue fellows but the gasket issue sent me over the edge and I sold my Cannondale back to my dealer. He is going to keep the head but part the rest of it out. Best quad I have ever ridden and I have owned / rode:

400EX
300EX
250R
Raptor
Predator
Warrior
Z 400

I have some extra stuff laying around and if anybody wants it sent me a pm.

I have:

2 Chain Guard Slides for rear swingarm
2 Tranny Nut (The ones everyone strips out during their first Tranny oil change)
1 set of brakes for both fronts and rear
1 set of headlights
1 stock skidplate
6 quarts of Motul Oil 10W40 Full Synthetic

If I can think of anything else or find any other parts lying aroung my garage I will post it. I wish all you guys good luck, thanks for all the info and help and hope to see the Cannondale's come back soon!!!!!

This is kind of sad.I think that anyone who has access to the OEM parts sources needs to come forward with it all as a group we will have more power to get these parts.Companies say they wont build unless in quanity but maybe someone here has ties to some of these companies and could convince them to build some.
