2007 Speedmaster with 77000 miles and now a oil leak *** looks like the clutch cover gasket. So this winter I will get it replaced should I replace the clutch while its off never had the cover off what do you people think.

While you're at it, why not throw in a new clutch cable as well just to be sure?

77,000 miles on a bike is quite a lot. I'd say if you have to go in there you might as well only have to go in there one time and take care of everything at once. No sense in changing a seal only to have to go back in a couple of thousand miles later to change a clutch and then have to put a new seal on all over again. Do it once and be done with it. Just my 2 cents.

Yes I think I will replace the clutch and be done
Thanks for your input

Hey Guys,

Thread didn't look too old, so I thought I would add to instead of creating a new one.

The top part of clutch cover gasket is leaking at highway speeds. The replacement gasket is on the way, but I wanted to ask you guys if 21,500 miles for the clutch cover gasket to fail is too soon. Any thoughts?

I had around 77000 miles before my first leak
