Loose cylinder head bolt

My bike leaked at that bolt next to the spark plug, too. I took the bolt off, cleaned it up real good, and re-torqued it (the German standard, 'Guten-tight'!).

It wasn't leaking a lot, just a bit over the course of a couple hundred miles. I've traveled another 100 or so miles since, and it hasn't leaked again as far as I can tell. Definitely no more leakage on the fins / front like I was experiencing.
