I have an S2R 1000, and need to remove the head due to the prior owner's misadventures (Mr. Valve, meet Mr. Piston...).
I ordered the head nut tool, got the wrong one, re-ordered, got the right one.
--Four head nuts broken loose (later removed).
--Plugs broken loose.
--Exhaust removed.
--Intake removed.
--Belt removed.
--Cam gear removed (maybe mistakenly?)
Head does not want to budge from cylinder. A few gentle taps with a 2x4....
Seems like head and cylinder want to move as one (no apparent motion between cylinder and head, but the two together seem to move a hair relative to the crank case.
I'd rather not remove the cylinder.
Is there something I am missing?
I have looked at both a downloaded version of the service manual and the parts manual, and I cannot see anything that should be holding me up, except that there are some dowels between the cylinder and head.
I am not going to pry the head from the cylinder.
Any suggestions are welcomed.
Best, Rich
