Install A Road King Derby Cover

A Roadking derby cover -- also known as a clutch cover -- is located on the lower left-hand side of the motorcycle on the outer primary. The outer primary contains the primary chain, clutch pulley and compensating sprocket. It also contains primary oil. The derby cover keeps the oil inside the outer primary. You may need to replace your derby cover if it is scratched or if you purchase an aftermarket derby cover and wish to replace the stock cover.


Instructions


1. Stand your motorcycle upright and off the kickstand. If possible, have a partner support the motorcycle in this position while you replace the derby cover. This ensures no primary oil leaks from the primary while changing the cover.


2. Remove the five chrome Torx bolts that hold the derby cover in place with a T27 Torx bit and Torx wrench. Set all five of the bolts aside along with the derby cover.


3. Remove the used derby cover gasket located just inside the derby cover. Replace the used gasket with a new one.


4. Install the new derby cover and the five chrome Torx bolts that came with the new cover.
