Default Clutch cover ?

My clutch is making alot of noise, I want to go in and have a look . Does the cover have a gasket that can be reused ?

Don't want to get in there and find out I need a gasket.

All my gaskets were paper.
I just had all he covers off my right side to tighten up the PV linkage and Rekluse install.
I got lucky and could re-use the PV and WP gaskets. The clutch cover and right side cover gaskets had to be replaced.

The replacements I got from GoFasters: Clutch was paper, but right side cover was rubber coated steel.

When I put all the covers back on, I used a little grease on both sides so that I'll be able to pop the covers without buggering the gaskets in the future.

Here is a tip that may help: loosen the bolts and back them out a few turns. Tap the cover with a plastic mallet. Once you get a little daylight between a portion of the gasket and either the case or cover, slip a piece of 35mm film or tear-off in there. Then slide the piece of plastic along the gasket. It will likely separate nicely.
I got all the way around both my clutch and right side covers and thought the day was saved. But in both cases there was one area around a single bolt hole that was absolutely glued to the case.
Since my bike isn't going anywhere because the suspension is at LTR, I had no additional downtime waiting on new gaskets.

Gook Luck!

It is a paper gasket. It can tear on removal.
Just be careful when removing the cover.

You can always make your own. you can buy rolls of gasket material from most auto parts stores. Just good tracing skills, sharp scissors/knife and a hole punch. Can look and work like factory.

+1 I've made many gaskets and never had a problem with them. I have even used a brown paper grocery bag for gasket material, worked fine.

The sleeves that the National Geographic magazine came in also worked like a champ.

Would have to be heaps cheaper! I just bought a heap of gaskets, basically for OEM. Everything except the cases and its around $90aud of cardboard.

Thats the price I pay for being too lazy to make my own. At least now when it needs to come apart if the old gasket tears its not the end of the world, the spare is on hand.

I also do the old grease each side on assembly. Helps heaps!

Paper beer case is the perfect thickness for most gaskets. However, I recommend putting the beers to the side before you begin the cutting operation.
