RichardCranium Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I need to replace my alternator cover but I'm not sure how much oil will come out when I crack it open. Should I just drain the oil first or will I just lose a small amount? Quote
Northman Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 You will lose almost no oil if the bike is up on the centerstand. Same goes for the clutch cover. Quote
RichardCranium Posted March 29, 2005 Author Posted March 29, 2005 Thanks mang. I was impatient so I got out the oil bucket and took it off. I only lost a few drops. Now should use locktite anywhere? The manual didn't say to use it though its generally a good idea of stuff like this. Also is blue rtv sealant the right stuff to use with the gasket? The manual just says sealant so I guess it doesnt matter. Quote
Northman Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I used a dab of black RTV on the crankcase seams, and where the stator wires come out, but that's it. Just torque to spec (108 lb/in, IIRC), and don't worry about Loctite. Quote
