There's also a flat cardboard one for derby covers with no gasket groove. It's an either or thing, just one gasket.

 

the derby gaskets dont need to be replaced each time you change the oil or do a clutch adjustment

 

10-4. Thanks for the feedback!

 

If I get a tight one, I use a big soldering iron to heat the bolts, and they come right out.

 

Use a screwdriver bit/socket holder to tighten derby cover bolts. Done.

 

Indeed...I like that the best.

I only use torque wrenches on critical parts like brake calipers, axles, space shuttle engines etc!

On a motorcycle, I mostly use a stubby ratchet wrench...... stops gorilla over tightening of fasteners. Full size ratchets for big stuff and loosening only.

 

That's the most illogical advice I've ever read. Why in the world would you advise any one to NOT use a torque wrench? I have 60,000 miles on this bike and many more on other bikes and have never damaged a derby cover screw. I torque them to 100 in. Lbs with no anti-seize or loctite and they come out with no problem every time. There is nothing wrong with Torx if used correctly and with the correct bit.

 

I know thats right.
I need a torque wrench cause I will overtighten everything.

 

The clutch cover and the derby cover are one in the same. I use the paper gasket with the silicone seal.
I've never used a torque wrench on derby cover screws - it just isn't necessary. Tighten them just past snug with whatever your favorite tool is....maybe a dab of anti-seize but NO Loctite.
