Motorcycle Repair: Head Removal, valve spring compressor, spring compressor tool


Question
I have a 92 FZR-1000 and I am trying to take off the head.   I have both cams and chain off and am now trying to take off the top part of the head.  The valve springs are at an angle and it needs to be pulled straight off so I am very confused as how to do this.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Answer
Hi Don,

Remove valves from the head and then separate the top from bottom. You'll need a valve spring compressor tool.

Get a copy of the service manual for details. See parts microfiche views at the following websites:
