Be careful if you lay the bike on its side to remove cover
Not sure if this applies to all years but it does apply to my 01 XC 300. When laying the bike on its side to remove clutch cover check. First check to make sure the shifter is not resting on the ground. If it is put something under the handle bar end to make sure the shifter is not touching the ground. Otherwise the case wouldn't go back on because the shifter shaft gets pushed out on the clutch side. Depending on your bar width this may not be an issue. I use the Burleson bend Moose oversize bars as they were the narrowest bars I could find without cutting them down.
Sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread just thought this was worth mentioning.
