Help removing oil pump cover gasket

[BambamXB12r]

My bike is a 2009 XB12r and all I want to do is replace the oil pump cover gasket. My question is do I have to disconnect any of the oil lines or worry about relieving pressure on the cam assemblies? Or do I just remove the oil pump cover screws, replace the gasket, and torque down in proper sequence?

If you mean just the cover #1just go at it. But if you mean the cover beyond that then you have to relieve pressure on cams by taking rockers off. That's fun

Nope, just the cover #1. Thanks for the fast response crash.

Do you already have a gasket? LMK if you need one. I've got a freebie I'll send your way if you need it.
PM me if you're interested.
