You won't regret it. This won't be the only time you ever refer to it.

replace the gasket and unless your primary was over filled aint nothing coming out even if its on the side stand.
I wonder if there is a difference between the A and B motors, as far as dripping out of the inspection cover when removed?
Or maybe some bikes are leaning more than others? (we already know that some are filled more than others. LOL)

get a buddy to hold it up and even lean slightly to the other side. It will tak eyou 3 minues to switch covers so he/she wont be holding on it long and it saves you the trouble of finding something to prop under the stand. I used the old gasket with mine and it all worked perfectly.
