my rh rocket cover gasket leaked a bit before my tappet adjust and a lot more after. It is hard to get all of the old gasket off. There was small stubborn bit at the back that wouldn't come off to I rubbed the edges down and put the new one over the top. Whats the best way to get the last bit off without scratching ther metal? Some gasket removing chemical? The oempaper gaskets aren't very good, anyone tried gasket in a tube? Have stevio's gone to rubber reusable gaskets, sounds a good idea. Oh well another oreder for a dozen gaskets.

leaky rocker cover gaskets

Nel,
I use a razor blade scraper to remove those gasket bits. Leaving any is asking for a leak.
Just watch your angle of attach so you don't gouge the metal. An occasional "scratch" is no problem, the gasket will seal. You could also upgrade to these:

I haven't used them yet (I do fine with the factory gaskets) but others have recommended them.

I`d go along with cloudbase on this one. When spotlessly clean, a very thin smear of grease and it helps when removing them next time.

I know that my dealer (Teo Lamers or TLM Nijmegen NL) uses coppergrease before they put on the gasket. I don't know if "coppergrease" is an English word but that's how we name it in the Netherlands. It seals and prevents the gasket sticking to the iron.

Yes, the shape for the 1100 Breva is the same. The Breva part number is different because of the added "goo" on the gasket. I've been using the standard square head gaskets (1982 up) with no problem.
