GENERAL
• This section covers service of the cylinder head, valves, rocker arms and camshaft.
• The engine must be removed from the frame to service the rocker arms, camshaft, cylinder head and valves.
• When disassembling, mark and store the disassembled parts to ensure that they are reinstalled in their original loca-
tions.
• Clean all disassembled parts with cleaning solvent and dry them by blowing them off with compressed air before
inspection.
• The rocker arm and camshaft lubricating oil is fed through the oil passages in the cylinder head and head cover. Clean
the oil passages before assembling.
• Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces when removing the cylinder head cover and cylinder head.
