I'm still a FNG here on the Viking forum but I've been riding Yamahas since I was 10 years old. Most of my family and friends are Yamaha guys too. I picked up my Viking a little while back after getting tired of my Wolverine Rspec and the oil burning issues. I've been doing a few upgrades along...

Question. When transporting, do you leave your Viking in gear or neutral? And what how many anchor points do you have? I’ve done the standard 4 but curious what others do.

I am stumped as to how to get the head off my engine. I have pulled all attachments and head bolts, including 2 upside down head bolts that are not even mentioned in the service manual. Still, the head refuses to come, only going slightly off center, but not coming off. What gives?
