im replacing my cam cover, i have the shop manual, but does not say anything about taking cam cover off. if i drain the oil, can i take the cam cover right off?

is it that easy? not too sure what to do?

 

You don't need to drain the oil if the bike is on the side stand. You will lose a few drops, but not too much. There is a specific pattern for torquing the bolts back down. Get a new gasket. It really is that easy.

I just did mine the other day new gasket is 5 bucks
