    Hello,
    I am trying to take the head off my bike and have a bit if a problem.
    The book says take bolt off cam sprocket and slip off boss. I took the bolt out but the cam sprocket will not move away from boss. I am pushing it outward but it just flexes. I don't want to brake or bend it. Is there more then one bolt on the sprocket? Am I missing something?

    Any help ? 8O

    Not sure about the 1100, but on the 550 there are 2... is there another one on the opposite side of the cam?

    Okay thanks I got them out and now the head is stuck on where the two downward facing studs are. I put some penetrating oil on them and will try tomorrow.
