don't put the little sensor on upside down when you go to put it back. The bike won't fire up.................

You might need more than 2 hands to remove it. Those magnets in there are unbelievably strong and you don't want to pry it off, risking damage to the engine's gasket surface.

Did you buy a new gasket??? The stock gaskets that are on most bikes are like paper, they dry up and crack easily. My friends did that, and when he went to put the stator cover back on there was an invisible crack that leaked oil from the top side until he got a new gasket.

I bought a new gasket, but after spending 30 minutes scraping off about 1/8" of the old one, I quit. I put a nice bead of liquid gasket around the stator cover and put it back on. Never leaked a drop.
