I would appreciate some advice. I am attempting my first valve adjustment on an R1100RT. All three books I am working from state to remove the alternator belt cover you just," Remove the four bolts and slide it straight down." Easy as pie. The only problem seems to be that the exhaust pipes are about 3/8" away from the engine right under the cover. There is no way it will " slide right down. You can't bend the cover to get it over the pipes. It would appear that one must remove various parts of the fairing supports on one side or the other to slide it sideways. No book seems to note this. Since I gather most people have removed this cover at some point, how did you do it? Thanks.
