need for this installation.

Reinserting the black plastic ring can be tricky. It is a tight fit and you do not

want to crack it. Lubricate (with oil) the part and line it up (black tab) and try to

push it in by hand. Repeat several times. If that does not work, install the oil filler

cap back into the black plastic ring (both plastic pieces now mated) and align the

black tab on the ring with the cylinder depression. Lubricate and tap gently. If

you tap too lightly, nothing will happen and you will have to tap again slightly

harder. If you tap too hard, you may crack the plastic ring. You are better off

tapping too gently and then trying it a second or third time. In other words, be

careful. Total time: five minutes.

REPLACING THE CAM COVER O-RINGS.

Do this with the engine cold. On the R1100RT, the side fairings must be

removed. On the R, RS and GS, nothing must be removed. Locate one of the

Cam Cover O rings on the back surface of the cylinder head. It is a black, oblong

piece of plastic located 5.5-in. down from the top and 4.5-in. in from the side of

the cylinder head. It is located low on the back surface of the cylinder head,

below the large black fuel intake tube. The Cam Cover is held in place with two

allen-head screws that measure exactly 2-in. from the center of one to the center

of the other. Remove the allen-head screws and, using a small flat-head

screwdriver or other similar tool, pry the black cover away from the cylinder. It

should come out easily. Use the same small flat-head screwdriver to gently pry

the O ring out of its channel in the black cover. Check the black cover for casting

flash & smooth out with steel wool or small file. Install the new Viton O ring

(Parker #219) by hand. With the new O ring in place, position the cover over the

hole and install the allen screws by hand. Check the alignment and then tighten

the allen screws alternately a few turns at a time so that the cover seats itself in

the hole evenly. Do not over torque; the allen screws are going into aluminum !!

Total time: Four minutes each side. Plan to install these the same day you get

them, it is that fast and easy.
