2015 Touring – TOP END OVERHAUL: ASSEMBLY – BREATHER AND ROCKER COVER

NOTE

For breather assembly service procedures, see 3.19 BREATHER ASSEMBLY.

1. To secure breather assembly, tighten two screws to 120-156 in-lbs (13.6-17.6 Nm).

If the engine is in the chassis, final tighten the three rocker cover bolts on the left side of the rear cylinder using a 3/8 in. drive torque wrench with a 7/16 in. flank drive “DOG BONE” TORQUE ADAPTER (Part No. Snap-on FRDH141). Failure to properly use this combination will over-tighten the bolts causing distortion of the rocker cover.

2. Apply a drop of LOCTITE 243 MEDIUM STRENGTH THREADLOCKER AND SEALANT (blue) to threads of rocker cover screws.

3. See Figure 3-84. Install rocker cover and a new rocker cover gasket. Tighten screws following the sequence shown to 15-18 ft-lbs (20.3-24.4 Nm).

4. Complete motorcycle assembly.
a. If engine was left in the chassis for service, see 3.15 ASSEMBLING MOTORCYCLE AFTER SERVICE.
b. If engine was removed for service, see 3.17 INSTALLING ENGINE IN CHASSIS.
