I've removed the gas tank, the coils and the bolts holding the valve cover, but the cover is stuck tight. I've tried a little bumping with a rubber mallet, and gently working my way around the edge with a screwdriver. No luck, I don't want to damage the head. Any ideas?

If you got all four cam cover bolts then it'll just need a bit of persuasion.

Finally got it, rubber mallet did the trick, no harm no foul. But man was it stuck tight. Got a shiny new chrome cover on there now.
