I'm talking about the allen head screws one on the left and one on
the right of the engine next to the "DOHC" badge on the left side of
the engine. What are they? I'm in the process of removing my head
right now and I'm afraid to remove them and afraid to not remove
them. Anyone? Please reply to me directly (It's faster).

PS. I found a guy who does screw extractions with a sink EDM machine
for $35.00 per hour here in town. God bless technology.

I had 2 valves out of spec. at 800 mi. inspection. It seems most people's
vavles were out of spec. on the first check. I think the best thing to do
before having a mechanic check them would be to make sure they TELL you what
the clearances are after they supposedly check them!!!
If you're suspicious you can then check them yourself when you get the bike
back.
