November 15, 200817 yr I noticed when I took the side cover off the right side of my engine on my '06 Rev-3 that there was really nothing to prevent water entry than the cover. I put a small bead of grease around perimeter and reinstalled. Was that a bad idea?
November 15, 200817 yr Not a bad idea but uneccessary as given the nature of the contents (movement - electrickery - heat - cold - condensation - water ingress) its pointless making a permanent seal and best to remove the cover after every ride anyway and spray with WD 40 / allow to dry. Some riders even drill the cover to allow constant moisture egress.
