1998 Road Kind Rear Cylinder Head Bolt Removal
I have a 1998 RK with EFI. I am trying to freshen up the top end, since there's oil leaks in several places. I have the front jug all torn down, but the rear jug has me in a bind. One bolt for the head is so long, it hits the frame, no matter what I do. I have a manual, which doesn't address this. I've also seemingly searched to the end of the internet. Please help! How do I get this last bolt out other than removing the motor? Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. I should have elaborated a bit more...I have the exhaust system completely removed. I have the front motor mount loose, and the top mount removed and have tried the prying method, although lightly. I'm pretty good at breaking sh!# . I'll give it another go, while removing the front motor mount with a bigger 2x4 then. Please keep replies coming! I'll post once I slay this Dragon.

Just a suggestion. When you are ready to torque down the front mount, leave it loose, start up and let the engine idle for a bit. This will "center" the mount where it wants to be. Shut down and then torque the front mount.
