Help Needed

hunter06 · 05-19-2009, 01:28 PM

I'm taking my bike across the country again and I need to stop the oil leak that I wrote about before. The pulse cover, gasket, one bolt and the timing cap need to be replaced. I actually may only need to replace the bolt, but my question had to do with the cover and cap. The service manual makes it seem like the entire cylinder head has to be removed first.. is that right? Thanks.

no. the service manual just shows it that way because it's following the steps in order to completely tear down the engine. at the begining of the section about removing the cover it will tell you what needs to be removed first
