Front Head Removal

[VTRDark]

Nice neat job. I thought you had done this weeks ago. Are they spring washers and don't forget a bit of copper slip on them threads when re-assembling.

Would spring washers be advisable?? & yes copper slip will be used.

Woho won't be long before you have it up and running again

I would use spring washers it can't do any harm. There is a lot of vibration down there with all the bumps in the road etc they will help keep the nuts from working loose, especially with a bit of copper slip so they don't seize themselves on.

Dome nuts protect the thread from all the road crap coming off the front tyre.

i had a snapped stud i tried every thing and eventually fkcude the cylinder head but solved it by bolting a metal plate from the threaded hole above the exhaust p[ort were the frame mount bolts then goes to rad and fairing to the metal plate on the exhaust pipe then tightened the other side
exhaust nut dow it worked a treat Alas when i started to prepare to fit manual tensioners, I looked at the spare head sitting on my bench it hat two studs in it and i felt GUILTY WITH MY BODGE what if some one looked at it so saying as cams were to be changed i was so close to removal so ithought
sod it i have made it so far with my wrecked hands and shakes its took a long time,i have tried to read things but got muxed up so i just went for it
