Spirit Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I have been told that it is possible to lift the cylinder heads on GS1150's and Katanas without removing the motor from the frame. Is this true? Quote Link to comment

skelly Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 So.. Joking aside, yes it is possible. Don't forget to undo the M6 bolt at the front of the head. In fact, undo that one first then loosen the head nuts, the copper washers may have crushed slightly so you may have to bear that in mind. Quote Link to comment
Screwriverracing Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 And when you put the washers back on, slide them on a screwdriver then put the end of the screwdriver on the stud and drop the washer down, saves dropping the odd one down the cam chain tunnel. Cheers SRR 2 Quote Link to comment
