    GS1000E Cam cover removal

    Just checking guys, I have removed the 16 bolts holding down the cam cover, do I need to remove the tacho fixing to remove the cover please, as it seems fairly tight

    No you do not need to remove the tachometer fixing, looking at the microfiche there are 16 bolts so it looks like it's just stuck a few taps with a hide/plastic mallet should break the seal.

        Not on this model...cover gasket is stuck..get a rubber mallet and tap lightly. There are probably dowel pins at corners to locate cover to head.

            If you need to create more space remove the breather cover off the top. Makes it easier to pull the cover through.

                Although there are a few GSes with dowel pins on opposite corners of the cover, this is not one of them.
