I'm not aware of a loosening sequence when removing a head, but generally when tightening a head you work from the inner nuts/bolts to the outer in a crisscross pattern, so loosening in a reverse sequence wouldn't hurt. BTW, we need to know yr/model of bike. I would also strongley suggest that you acquire a manual before doing too much to your bike.
 
the model is 1982 gsx750s, as for loosening i was always led to believe, it is just as important to undo in sequence, as it is to do up in sequence. :)
 
The Haynes manual specifies the reverse of the tightening sequence. You would simply loosen the leftmost outer pair, then the rightmost outer pair and work in.
 
loosening sequence

loosening sequence

i'm not sure, but all suzi's i've come into contact with have each bolt numbered somewhere near it. say there's 12 bolts, then loosen:

12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

and tighten

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12

a little at a time going through... but you knew that
 
flyingace you said the haynes manual said to do them from the left outside working in, do you have the manual???if so can you PLEASE scan it for me, i really need to get this off so i can get it running again.thanks mate. Mark
 
Check the head casting to see if the bolts are numbered. If not it's best to start at the center and loosen a little at a time going diagonally across the head loosening.
 
Okay, the first line wil be intake from left to right and the second line exhaust left to right. This is for twelve bolt heads.

12...6...2...4...8...10

11...7...3...1...5...9
 
It doesn't matter when removing the head, just don't drop any nut or washer down the cam chain tunnel. When installing the head just follow the numbers casted inside the head. All you're doing in ensuring a good gasket seal by working the gasket out from the center to the ends.

It's not that your going to warp the head if you don't.
