Use the stuff they sell at bike shops, not RTV. Yamabond or equivalent. Know Exactly how many bolts you have to loosen. Know which one must be in the head cover on installation and which one is upside down. Draw an outline of the head cover on cardboard, slice it and stick each bolt in its place. Different lengths all over up there. If you have never had the tank off, pick a place to set it before you have it in your hands. Gotta be up off the floor so the speedo cable doesn't get bent up. Watch out for the o ring in the cup of the cable. Thin and even on the gasket goo. That's what determines the gap on the cam. Don't try to tighten it down in two passes. Go slow, let the goo creep, make passes till the bolts get there, don't rush them.
