    head removal

    I have not yet begun this fight, (i.e.; read the manual) but I thought I'd ask if there were any tips and tricks about head removal and or getting the exhausts off?
    Thanks, Bill

      run the bike till its ready to melt then try and remove the exhaust bolts.
      if the bike is not running then heat them suckers up with a torch before trying to remove them.
      or..
      just try the normal way sense your removing the head anyways.

        I suggest using a 1/4" ratchet and a light tough. Do not force the bolts or they will snap.

        Before you begin I suggest cleaning the engine really well so dirt/grease/grime doesn't fall into the crankcase when you pull the cylinders, which is strongly recommended when you pull the head so the base gasket and seals can be replaced at the same time.
