Removing and replacing the cylinder head covers.

I have never seen this mentioned on here.
It is easy to remove the chrome cylinder head covers without taking the tank off.
All I did was take off the two bolts that hold down the tank and put a wooden block under the rear end. There is then plenty of room to remove and replace the covers. The left side is a little tight but no problem. I had already cut the "bridge" off the right cover to clear the engine breather hose.
Sorry if this is redundant and common knowledge.

Without the covers the engine looks like the old Yamaha SR500 engine which was a good looking engine, clean and simple.
