Installation Guide
Tools Required
- Metric socket or T‑handle set (typically 8 mm or 10 mm for cover bolts)
- Medium-strength threadlocker (optional)
- Shop rag / brush to clean sprocket area
Pro Tips
- Clean built-up mud and chain lube around the front sprocket before installing to avoid premature wear.
- Snug the cover bolts evenly and use the OEM torque spec from the service manual rather than guessing.
- Apply a small drop of medium threadlocker if you frequently ride in high‑vibration or racing conditions.
- After installation, spin the rear wheel on a stand to confirm there is no interference between the chain and the new cover.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Over-tightening cover bolts and stripping the engine case threads
- Installing without cleaning out packed dirt and chain lube behind the OEM cover
- Routing the chain incorrectly over the countershaft sprocket before tightening the cover
- Pinching wiring or vent hoses that may run near the cover area
Comparison vs Stock/OEM

Improvements
- More robust construction compared to OEM plastic cover
- Open design sheds mud and debris and allows quick visual inspection of chain and front sprocket
- Improved aesthetics with anodized finish
- Slight potential weight reduction and easier cleaning/maintenance access
Considerations
- Provides less splash shielding for chain lube than some fully enclosed OEM plastic covers
- Does not usually include new hardware; OEM bolts must be reused or replaced separately
