Hi Everyone,

I need to replace the shifter output seal (leaking) so I bought a primary cover gasket and a new seal. I would like to install them but I do not have a manual and could not find a good answer in the archives. What do I do with the clutch cable? Can I pull the primary without removing it? Any help/instructions would be really apreciated.

Thanks

I recommend the service and parts manuals. If your gonna do this work you'll do other work on your bike. Daves can send them right to your house w/ a 10% discount. See sponser section for Appleton HD.

Skyguy,

you can indeed pull the cover without removing the clutch cable...However, you must unhook it from the clutch lever inside the case. Pretty simple unless you're replacing the cover as I did.

Reinstalling the cover requires a new gasket and proper torquing order of the bolts. Please advise someone when you are gonna do this.

not flaming you but, I would get the service book asap. It is pretty informative.

Tim the correct torque settings are as follows on the clutch inseption cover 84-108 in-lbs and 9.5-12.2 Nm
The primary cover fasteners are 80-110 in-lbs and 9-12.4 Nm.
Ihope that this pic is clear enough for you to see the order. I must say you should get a manual. It's worth it!
