How I can remove the cam cover on a Harley-Davidson 1995 Sportster 883 XLH?

As mentioned broken a manual before attempting this at home. :) While you're at it check out http://www.sportster.org/ like everything you ever wanted to know about Sportster covered. They have a mailing list you can join where you can ask all the questions related to Sportster you want and there are many people out there that can help answer them. As for the elimination cover what he said is basically broken but I would like to add some things to it. You have to remove the small round cap that covers the sensor ON (should be held on with two rivets to be drilled out, when you put it back be sure to use the Harley rivets suitable for this or you could have problems later.) Then remove the rotor which is bolted to the end of the cam is under the round cover. Their next problem will be that cam is under load and the removal of the cover without removing that first charge can cause problems. The manual will tell you to remove both rocker boxes for the top of the cylinder heads first. This is the safest method for removing the cam cover. But there is another method that is faster and you have to have care of them, or could damage the cams. This should only be used if you are not removing the cams too, just the cam cover. If the cams are to leave then rocker boxes must be removed first. Anyway, there is a position of the valve handle where it is starting to open while the other three valves are closed. I do not remember if the valve is in the front or rear of the cylinder, since it has been a while since I've used this trick. Someone on the website above would be able to say more. Anyway, once the crankshaft is in the correct position to be able to remove the cover with a little care. With this method does not crank the engine while the cam cover is off. When ready to install your camera coverage you may have before you touch the cam as one will have a bit of tension there.
