Subject: Sportster 1200 rear rocker cover
Question
I've replaced my front rocker cover gaskets due to an oil leak. Now I can't get the rear rocker cover off. I've removed the top bolts but the frame is blocking the removal of the cover. Is there an easy way to remove the covers?
Answer
Sorry I didnt answer you sooner. My hard drive decided to go south!
The rocker cover will come off without removing the motor. Its a tight fit and you have to turn it to get it out, but it will come out. If you are removing the lower rocker cover you have to remove the pushrods to get it out.
Good luck and happy riding

you have to cut out the fuel cells because they are partially attached to the rocker cover gasket but that will not completely remove it you also have to remove the radiator and then the rocker cover gasket will be suspended in the air. You then have to cut the cords and the gasket will fall to the ground. And the rest is pretty simple.

There are too many reasons this can happen to be positive, however the most common reason is the exhaust pipe is not snug, or bad gasket at the manifold. Where it bolts to the cylinder. If it is not that, you will need a harley mechanic to look at it.

How do you change rocker gasket?
I am assuming you mean "rocker cover" gasket. All you have to do is simply take the cover off, peal away all the old gasket, clean both gasket surfaces, and then use a small amount of RTV silicone in the corners of rubber gaskets (NOT CORK GASKETS) and then re-install the new gasket in place of the old one.
