GS 500 Top Yoke

[Moxey]

Evening

GS has some play in front end so got cracking with removing stuff and as I'm still hung-over/suffering from man flu/lazy I've called it a night.

Last thing to do was remove top yoke, underneath there are two nuts with a split pin, easily removed pins but seems slackening the nut just turns the whole bolt around, wanted to ask are these things I've circled in red just covers of some sort before I go scratching the crap out of it with a flathead.

The photo isn't great but I'm guessing that the things in red are allen head bolt caps, they will pop out if you get a knife or sharp screwdriver in the gap between them and the bolt.

The top of the yoke is just a cover.

Nice one Marki!

Probably would have figured it out eventually but just checking they weren't the same as the bolts holding the clocks to the yoke which aren't covers.

also for the recommendations guys, tried the workshop guides 1st, thought I'd hit gold with the Haynes download but links were dead/preview only, also service manual doesn't seem to cover steering stem.

Mountain out of a molehill.....

Sorry should have said. Dont click the start download text. Under the preview you will see download in small text. Use that and your download will start.
