deep cleanng front sprocket cover gasket question - Val - 30-05-15
Hello,
I just bought 2003 Foxeye. Aparently there is a gasket on the front sprocket cover. Do I need to change it each time I remove the cover to deep clean the sprocket and the chain?
If yes where do you buy cheap ones?
cheers
Val

Has been some discussions on this in the past - http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,16313.25.html
For what its worth mine was in bad shape so i purposely took the remenants off and have not replaced it - but i still wonder if there should be something compressible there.....more for securing the cover as opposed to stopping anything leaking out...
I kept an eye on the bolts and i was not sure if sometimes there were a little loose and needed nipping up... :\
but think others have had no issues and not replaced them

I've never replaced it, bolts have never ever budged either, as long as they're torqued up properly i wouldn't worry about it.

No need to replace it, just be aware that the clutch take-up point will be slightly changed so you may want to check the adjustment.

i have no gasket on mine but it leaks oil from there so maybe im different again.

thank you all, I will just throw out the old one and will do some liquid gasket, not that it needs any gasket there anyway
