Default Gasket for Clutch inspect'n cover: oil it first??

Hi, '07 STC

I took out the original gasket which is a plastic type ring, sits in a groove. Dealer said this is now replaced by a circular disk, part # 60328-98B (looks like a sanding disc, completely covers area under the derby cover)... first question: this sound right to you?? (this new disc vs. the original ring type which sits in groove?.
If the disc type is correct to use,, do I put oil on it where it sits against case and derby cover, or just install it dry??. Manual of course doesn't ref this new type gasket.
I called 2 different dealers, 2 different stories...wish they could get somethin simple like this straight with the dealers, partic where I am told by one that the disc supercedes the ring type origninal gasket.
Thanks for help, Steve

The gasket type goes on dry ... the o-ring gets lubed.

I did this last fall and used the rubber ring gasket, that gets a little oil to help seal it when it goes back on. I've not heard of this 'new' type of gasket. IMO your parts guy gave you the wrong part... or mine did

The derby cover gasket goes on dry. Your's is an '07, right? So it doesn't have the inspection cover. Otherwise, you could just replace the primary fluid through there and not have to remove the derby cover.

If you have the stock derby cover, you use the original o ring. If you have a P&A derby cover (skull, live to ride etc, you use the frisbee 99c).

Default Gasket for Clutch Inspect'n plate

Thanks for the help. Still a bit confused though as some response indicates difference vs. I have a stock '07 STC, it has a plain inspection cover that has to be removed to put new oil in. The original gasket is a neoprene O ring, red. What I am questioning is the "replacement" gasket, a disc that looks like sanpaper disc, it fits, same hole pattern,... so I am wondering if anybody has run into this as a "replacement" to the red O ring ?? If so, I will use it as that dealer indicates to do. Other dealer has said NO, not the disc, get a red O ring type like the original. tnx again, Steve
