Quote from: "Timbox2"Dave , just something I realised when I did mine.

Try and get the front of the bike up a bit before you turn off and let it stand.
As the engine is tilted forward a bit, oil tends to pool right at the front of the head and can drip down the front onto the downpipes etc when you remove the cambox cover.

 :thumbsup  I just remembered, i've made a note to self for next time i do mine but i was thinkin of leanin the bike over to the right as far as i dare so the oil runs down the cam chain gap  :wink:

probably be better if there's 2 of ya  :roll:
