need a little advice..
I finally got around to check the cam tensioners and have removed the exhaust and all the bolts that attach the cam cover, but I am having trouble getting the cover off. Anyone have any advice as to how this is done w/o damaging the cover. I tried tapping it with a hard rubber hammer but it won't budge. Any suggestions?

Try prying on the bottom edge of the cam cover where it won't show or try to insert a couple of small screwdrivers approximately the same diameter as the bolts to pry with. There isn't anything holding the cover on except the gasket, I would have thought the hammer would have worked.

Just took one off this weekend, the rubber mallet wouldn't get it off so I took a small screwdriver and on the back side (towards the rear of the bike) on the bottom, put it between the cover and case and give it a little hit, that will break it loose.

mine was also stuck pretty good so I did what another member here had suggested and placed the blade of a pocketknife parallel with the cover, got it started into the gaskt and popped it with a mallet and it cam right off. Make sure you got some rags handy
