Is there an easy way to install the labyrinth plate on a 2011 850 XP? We just had a quick look at it and looks like you have to remove part of the frame to remove some of the 6 bolts to remove the cover. Then according to the diagram, looks like there is 6 more bolts on the underside of the valve cover.

Don't know if I can help you that much since I retired about the time the bulletins came out on the crankcase breather vent,but as far as can remember if you're just replacing the labyrinth plate,it was just two screws(at least on the 2010 model,not sure about the 2011 850) no tearing apart of the frame,BUT didn't have a chance to work on many of em so my memory on this is a little vague. Others that have one or have worked on em should be able to advise you. OPT

the fron t part of frame, above shifter on right side just un-bolts for easy access to valve cover.

thanks for the replies guys, I did see the two bolts on the frame up near the shifter, just wasnt sure if that would be enough to get access to all the bolts.
