ive done the ones on mine before thay are some bits that need removing to got good access to them petrol tank needs to come off depending on year of bike the left ignition coil needs to come off to get clearance to get rocker cover off coolent needs to be drained to remove top coolent hoses to get rocker cover off and the two oil feed pipes in the head need to be unbolted to get good clearance for the valve adjusters and the two plastic covers on the generater caseing need removing when turning the engine witha socket on the crackshaft bolt remenber the engine turns in a clockwise direction hope this helps
