Hi. I am in Ontario Canada and working on my 3rd GT750. This is my latest winter project to keep me busy when I retire in a couple weeks. I have all the head bolts out but the head will not budge. Is there a hidden bolt or one from underneath ? This is a 76 GT750 A that has been sitting for quite a long while but in very nice original shape. I have tried the rubber hammer and even prying it with no decent result. Thanks
Dave

Re: cylinder head removal
Thanks for the pics. It seems that the stud in the centre 3 vertical rows from the left is too big. I assume it was put in after. It is too big and the head will not slide over it. I think that I will have to drill it out.

10 mm studs shouldn't be through the head!

Re: cylinder head removal
If you look at the pic of the head sent by Cliff, the small hole to the left of the plug hole on the right had a nut on a stud. This will not go through the hole as I try to lift off the head. I am able to move the head slightly back and forth and the stud actually turns with it..
