Oh joy, what fun. Took me 2 hrs to pry off the cover after gaining access. I though the cover would break at some point. As my luck was in the crapper the "Good Deal" I got on gaskets on fleaBay finished my day. Seems the gaskets were not Genuine Yamaha. So much for a good deal. Ordered 2 from Randy, lesson learned, I will use RPM for all my future needs.
