There really is no need to ,haven't touched mine in 24 years , yes the Book says to but it's there so you'll take it to the dealership , they might check your compression and if it's with in spec won't do it either ,but probably charge you for it. those bolts are only torqued to 21-24 lbs treat it as one of those things that" if it's not broke don't fix it" . sooner or later you'll have the headplug leak ,and oil will run across the front fins right on level with the head and cylinder newbies mistake this is a head gasket leak,it's not, but you will have to replace the plug and put sealent around it ,something the factory never has done if your buddy can't get the cap off is it because the long center bolt doesn't have enough room to come out?. just remove the cap with the bolt in it, and you'll have to insert it in the cap again as you reinstall it. Some frames welded at the factory come out larger or smaller , if he can't get the cap off , he can pull thr lower motor casing bolts ( the ones that hold the front pegs ) that will allow the motor to swing down between the lower frame rails giving him the extra room he needs.
