Default Timer cover??
I bought a dark custom timer cover and was going to install it...just wondering if four quarts of oil is going to drain out when I take off the stock cover??

Thanks!!

If you are actually changing the timer cover (right side of the bike, on the cam cover) nothing will drain out when you pull the old cover.

That makes it worth at least $150. Hopefully he replaces it with the proper air for this season, otherwise warranty will be voided.
