Default Oil pan gasket
I have a leaking oil pan gasket. Real basic question - can the pan be removed with the engine in the bike?

Yes, necc to remove the rear wheel/swing arm for clearance. Check out Baker site and the +1 install instructions.

Yes you can. It is a giant PITA, but it can be done. I did it once to replace a leaking gasket and once to clean out the pan after a inner cam bearing failure. The second time around was definitely easier.
