The hardest part is removing all the little bits of the old gasket. So, if you're not going to be riding the bike, start it now. I used razor blades and then lightly used a bit of emory cloth to get it all.

There are a lot of smaller bolts on the bike, and aluminum castings etc, I think I'd stick as close to the torque as possible. 8 to 10, is about a 20% increase.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
