I haven't found anything on the forum about my particular issue. I bought the cover with machine lip-seals installed because by old cover was a bit beaten up and leaky on the kickstart and gearchange. However, installing the old parts into the cover and trying to fit it brings up issues: I can't get the gearchange to locate properly to effect a change and every time I take it off, four so far, to have another go, it requires careful levering until a 8th of an inch gap is achieved and it will eventually come off.

I've had the old cover off a couple of years ago and have not had any problems with either of these issues (nor the amount of gaskets I've destroying while levering the cover off!) Has anyone else had this problem because I'm considering putting the old one back one...
