- April 16, 2011, 20:20:51 PMMine are leaking on the right rear so I'm thinking about installing new gaskets..my question is after removing the tank do you have to pull the motor out or is there enough room between the backbone of the frame and the motor to remove the bolts and slide the valve covers out the side..I just thought I'd put this out here first before I tackle the job cause if its to much I'll wait till fall when I put it up for the winter....Thanks...Rick

My friend just did one on a friends bike, said it was 8 hours and a pain but he knows how to do it now when mine goes.
HE seems to think at 15- 20k I will need to do the same thing, we will see.

Sry if not, my buddy just helped another friend do a valve cover gasket on one of these and he was telling me about it, I just thought it might be the same guy, small world if it is man.
