    Loose cylinder head cover

    How do I go about re-securing this loose cap?

    650? There's a hidden screw on the underside. Whether it's a recessed hex head (allen) I don't know.

      You can likely find a factory service manual that will cover it's removal and installation. See link to BikeCliff's Website in my signature.

        Yup, the screw head access is from the bottom. I'm not sure if there is access without removing the cover, or not.

          Thanks all. Yes, it's a 650. '81 650e. Once I get back to my friend's place where my bike is hibernating I'll be able to try to fix it.
