Thanks. So the LHS sold me the large rubber o-ring derby cover gasket and the large clutch inspection cover gasket, part number 25416-99C. I'm using the stock derby cover so I can use the large rubber 0-ring gasket or the clutch inspection cover gasket, part number 25416-99C? Thanks!

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 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.
