Trying to remove the cover on my GS750ES, BUT CANT get it to budge....

Thanks
 
Light taps on sides with Rubber mallet. Make sure all the case bolts on the underside are out as well. Then when loose firm pull, cause the magnetic pull is strong.
 
It does look like all bolts are out from that picture but there is a very strong magnetic pull to the thing. I use plastic putty knives to separate the cover from the case and then work to pull them apart. Be sure your stator wiring is disconnected from the RR before pulling back too far and I would suggest the starter cover is off just to help guide the wiring through that area.
 
On some bikes wiring routes inside the starter motor well also. Remove the starter motor cover and feed the wire out the hole as you remove the stator cover.
 
There is a locating dowel behind the front top bolt (#15 in this schematic):

Which will make trying to move / dislodged the cover laterally quite difficult.

Like the others have said, the strong magnetic pull plus probably a bunch of goop / stuck gasket will make it stubborn to remove.
 
I gave a couple of taps with a heavy rubber mallet and was able to pull it right off. The magnet is pretty strong though so be prepared for some resistance. I taped around the entire perimeter. Just wanted to break the seal from the old gasket.

I refrain from sticking things between covers like knives of screwdrivers because the case and cover are aluminum and just a little gouge and that damn thing may leak forever. The gasket that goes here is paper thin.

Be sure to suss out your screws since at least on my bike there were a couple of different lengths and they need to go back that way.
 
Got it. Used a putty knife to get it started. Thanks for the advice.

putting in new stator and RR. Got one from electrosport.
