The phrase "off your rocker" is believed to have originated in the 1960s, possibly derived from the idea of a rocking chair. The expression suggests that someone has lost their balance or sanity, similar to how a rocking chair might tip over if it goes too far. It may also relate to the earlier term "off one's nut," which conveys a similar meaning of being irrational or crazy. Overall, it captures the notion of being mentally unsteady or out of control.

Subject: Sportster 1200 rear rocker coverQuestionI'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?AnswerSorry 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 ridingMike

Rocker Arm problems, specifically with them falling off, are common with 2000 JGC's. You can get the code read, which will point to the cylinder that has the failed rocker arm and then remove the left or right rocker cover to inspect. The problem with the falling off rocker arms tends to be a slippage of the valve guides that leaves the valve to hang up and removes the stress from the rocker so it just falls off. Replace the heads. Replace the HEADS? Sounds drastic. How about repairing the heads?
