If you have a service manual, read it. The covers on either side of the engine do not have gaskets. The manual says to use Three Bond 1207B or equivalent.
Section 10 for the left side (alternator cover).
Section 17 for the right side ( Right Crankcase cover)
The books shows where to put the sealant.
Be careful over torquing bolts on this bike. For instance, the top shock bolt will snap very easily if overtorqued even a small amount.
About to attempt this job. Looking at the manual it says to apply sealant to the wire grommets. Can’t tell from the pics but is it both sides? Or just place the grommet in the cover then apply sealer to the part sticking out of the cover. I see some sealant goes on part of the case and all the way round on the covers as well.

On the grommet, you want to put it around the sides where it will contact the edge of the cover and the engine case. And remember, use a thin film or bead everywhere, it doesn't need much. If you bolt it all in place, and any squeezes out, it's probably squeezing out inside the cover, and there it can get into the oil supply. Take it apart, clean it off and use less this time.

Sounds good. How long after do I wait before I can ride it? Dry time I guess?
(Doing left and right crank case)

Pretty quickly. I might wait an hour or so.
