Now I've gone and done it...
Decided to remove the head and clean out some of the carbon?
Got the four nuts on top off fine.
Snapped the rear stud underneath the head and instantly stripped the nut on the front.
Right now? I'm looking for my 12 guage deer slugs...
...or a cold shower. Which ever I can get to first.

a cold shower, a cold beer (hey, what's a few more brain cells) and a deep breath.
Just remember, studs are replaceable. Only issue is how broken off they are and whether it might be better to find a machine shop to get them out.
I'm lucky, my riding buddy is a machinist. Got the cylinder rebored for $0. Just had to do some computer tweaking for the shop owner.

A cold beer would have been nice, but unfortunately, I had to go to work.
It was No.'s 13 and 14 in the cylinder head microfiche that got boogered. I should be able to get 'em out myself no problem (once I get that stripped nut out of the way). I just ordered replacement studs from bikebandit...
Good news is, my clutch cover gasket showed up before I left for work. Hooray.
And I have cold beer waiting for me when I get home.
*EDIT:
several
cold beers

Got the head off today.
The Dremel is your friend...
(So are vise grips...)
If anyone is interested, this is how I mounted the motor to the work bench...

jkhulon73,
Not sure it will help now, but I just posted in the tech ref section a parts list I made by copy& paste from the local dealers "OEM parts finder tool. It's mainly for my 2001 but has some other years and many parts are interchangeable.
It's real handy to see how things fit and it's easier to use than the Microfische web tool.
I printed a copy (at work on the fancy printer, don't tell the boss),...... I sort of old school and like the feel of paper in my hand when I'm working on stuff.

20 years of carbon... gone.
...and all it took was an hour and most of a can of Chem-Tool.
