If I install my new derby cover with the Jiffy stand, will oil leak out. In addition, the bike has 2400 miles, can I use the existing gasket or buy a new one.

Any other things I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Just have somebody stand the bike upright when you do it, gasket should just stay in place. You wont need a new one...5 minute install

 

I would have some one lean the bike , then take the old one off, make sure you put a oil pan under it, you will loose alittle.no, you shouldnt need a new gasket, but before you do it, make sure you have two torx sockets that fit, because you'll twist one taking the old one off, atleast I did on my 06 RG, then you'll need the new one to put thenew one on.

 

Actually, with the '07 you will need a DIFFERENT gasket. The one that comes stock is an "O" ring fit and you need the $5 flat paper gasket for the new cover.

You can lean the bike away from Derby and loose no oil.

 

I will need the "O" ring since I bought the porthole derby cover.

17369-06 Gasket service kit $2.80 and will include 2 11105 o-rings for oil and tranny plug and then you'll have them for your next oil change

 

t-27. I had no problem with mine. All the bolts came off with no problem. I have a '05 rk custom, it has the large gasket that covers the entire opening. I had the wife hold the bike upright, removed the bolts, put the new cover on, and blue loc tighted the bolts and put them back on. Easy a pie, for my bike, anyways.

You should be fine. This is one of the easiest things to do. I think that the timing cover is even easier. I got both to match, and love them. Most importantly, have fun. Working on your bike gets less worrisum the more you do to it. I was really apprehensive, at first. But with every new thing I do, my confidence had grown. And, so will yours.

 

Put the Jiffy Stand on top of a 2x4 - PULL the dirby cover & CHANGE the Gasket...

Makes removing/installing derby cover and changing trans lube a snap. I love it when it comes to cleaning my laced wheels on my bagger.
