I am upgrading to the revision B cover on my '08 1125R. How do I remove the emblem from the old cover and apply it to the new without damage or the emblem falling off the new cover?

Do you mean the emblem or the puck itself as you've probably noticed the pucks are completely different from Rev A to B, Rev A is smaller and made of plastic, Rev B is larger and made of ali.

Out of interest why do you want to move the emblem to the Rev B cover, the puck should come with one on it.. Oh, unless you're planning on putting it on upside down to hide the weeping for a bit longer...

Actually i just remembered replacement pucks don't come with the emblem on them do they, they're another $5 or so.

I'd suggest a hot air gun, a feeler gauge and some patience to get the old one off... Then a hot glue gun to re-attach..

Don't try - the emblems are different sizes, RevA and RevB
The puck is held on by an o-ring to the cover.
The emblem will release in boiling water, just like the mirror glass.

I had my old Scuffed-up RevA cover hanging on the wall, but sent to a racer that wanted to use it since it was still functional.

i think he's talking about the 1125R emblem that is on the cover itself not the puck. my rev b cover doesn't have one and i really wished it did

Mine Rev.B cover has them emblem on it,but it very loose.I think the dealer removed the old one and attached it to the new cover.

You can also use tooth floss. Add a small dab of copper/High temp heat silcone and your good to go for the install on the new cover.

Awesome idea with the tooth floss! Yes, I am talking about the arched emblem at the top of the cover. I bought a revision B clutch cover kit. It came with everything except that emblem. It came with the new larger puck, and a new emblem to apply to the bigger puck. I just need to remove the old arched shape emblem from the old cover, and apply it to the new. I also picked up new seals for the clutch slave cylinder and piston in case I damage them during the process. I have already installed the revised clutch seals and new piston and cylinder. If I can change this out with out damaging the seals, I'll have a full set on the shelf as spares. The local dealer was really helpful, and the parts came in much quicker than I expected after reading comments here. The parts manager really took his time to help me get exactly what I needed. He acted surprised that I was doing the work myself.

The dental floss did the trick! It did not hurt the paint or metal decal in any way. Thanks for the idea!
