The Katana sure has a lot of head cover bolts. I’m thinking that to myself as I remove them.
The fastening bolts sometimes have different lengths below the head. Usually they should be the same when the bolt is floating (loose). There are cases where they’re mixed or separated and some are longer, so you have to be careful not to mix them up. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The SR\/SY metal head cover gasket. It would be nice if the factory came with this.
Gently close the cover and the valve adjustment is complete.
