Title: Paint/powdercoat clutch and stator cover S2R1000
Post by: kaisersoza on April 21, 2011, 09:50:10 AM
I would like to remove both side covers and send them out to be powdercoated. Is this something an average garage mechanic could tackle or should I have someone a bit more knowledgeable remove the covers? Is there a tutorial that shows how to do this ?

Just drain the oil and start removing stuff.  It's pretty simple (especially with an air cooled bike).  I forget, but if you have a dry clutch, you may have to remove the clutch bits too, in which you'll need some air tools or a basket removal tool.  You'll need gasket goo to put back on the cases when you get them back from PC.  I would make sure they mating surfaces are not PCd though.

More will have (better) info following I'm sure...

Yeah, this may be a bit too involved to me. Especially since I haven't had the bike long. Anyone local to San Diego know any good shops other than the local Ducs dealerships?
