Install Breather Cover and Inner Baffles
RTV sealant was used on early models between the
breather cover and the crankcase. A gasket with
imprinted sealant beads is now used and
recommended. Install as follows:
1. Be sure the sealing surfaces of the crankcase and
breather cover are clean of old gasket material or
RTV sealant.
Do not scrape the surfaces as this
could result in leakage.
2. Check to make sure there are no nicks or burrs on
sealing surfaces.

6. Carefully position the breather cover on the
crankcase. Install first two hex flange screws at
positions shown in Figure 11-58 and finger
tighten at this time.
3. Connect the kill lead to the tab terminal on
standard ignition modules. See Figure 11-54.
3. Install the breather reed and breather reed
retainer onto the crankcase and secure with the
hex flange screw. Hold the assembly in line when
tightening. Torque the screw to
3.9 N·m
(35 in. lb.) . See Figure 11-56.
