rocker cover gasket replacement

[MrWasabi]

ive spotted a tiny oil leak coming from the rocker cover yesterday and i want to get this fixed up before it gets worse.
Ive got a quote for the parts i need but i was wondering how technical it would be to do this. Has anyone done one before on an f3 before that could shed some insight? Will i need and special tools?

Im pretty handy with tools and im not sacred to get my hands dirty, but if its something better left to the pros then i wont try it.

Owen it should be a piece of piss, remove tank remove coil leads (mark them first) remove cover replace gasket & reverse, + mate do the plugs while you are in there ...Oh.....When the cover goes on & as you tighten the bolts work in a diagonal pattern to ensure she is evenly snug

no need to adjust to a specific torque?
That actually sounds easier than i thought

You could use a torque wrench

yeah set the torque wrench to 1/2 a grunt. dont need to be too tight. its only squeezing the rubber together.

Madkaws is open saturday for a bit of work if you want a bit of guidance

thanks wattie but by the looks of it the missus has to work tomorrow and seems i may end up not being able to go for the Sat run, let alone fix my bike.
Besides no one stocks these parts so im having it ordered in. Wont have it till next weekend
