Here's my stock black cover on the new Busa, you can see I've already got some dings in mine. Black Sharpie marker works wonders for those. Remove all the bolts, and a little trick I used is punch the bolts into a piece of cardboard in a circle the order they came out. You'll want to put them in the same holes as lengths vary.




One trick is to gently tap the cover with a rubber mallet to break the seal of the gasket. Once you've got it loose. Pull it straight off. The coil inside functions as a giant magnet so it'll feel like two magnets in science class.

A small amount of oil will come out, about a tablespoon worth, so have something ready to catch the oil.




Remove the old gasket and thoroughly clean & scrape both surfaces. Needs to be perfect to get a good seal when you put it back together. There are two roll pins you'll need to remove and insert into the new cover. Use a Needle-nose pliers and gently ease them out.




Three screws on the coil, and two up top. Take all 5 out. Punch into your cardboard in the pattern they came out. Where the wires enter the stator cover (top in the pic), there's a rubber grommet to gently pull
out.




Install the reverse of removal. Loc-tite 3 screws for the coil, then two up top, and slide in the wire grommet back into the channel & press it tight. Don't forget the two roll pins.




Woodcraft Covers include a gasket for a full kit. You can get gaskets from an OEM supplier like your local dealer or BikeBandit.com

When you put on the cover, it's highly magnetic. So put your fingers on the outside of the cover. When it's about a 1/4 inch away, it'll get sucked on. Line it up with the two roll pins. Loc-tite all your bolts, install the same bolts in the same holes, and button it back up. Some will also use a very thin layer of gasket sealer too. If yours leaks or seeps oil, you'll need to do this step all over again.

So why swap out the Stator Cover for a billet one?? Well looks of course is one thing, but really it's Insurance for your motor. Pre-planning will save you a lot heartache if the ride goes bad.

While you could be lucky...and not puncture it.



Most of us are not that lucky.










On the flip side...Here is your bad day with a Woodcraft Cover. Bruised ego, but able to still ride home.

How exposed? First thing that hits the ground on the Busa is the Stator.



And yes, they come in Black too.
