Timing cover bolts.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to remove the bottom 2 timing cover bolts (2012 R1200 GSA) I can oly get them out so far then they hit the exhaust crossover pipe.
Cheers
Jake.

WTF is a Zorst?

WTF is a Zorst?

Might be Germanic rhyming slang for exhaust.

Zorst = Exhaust.

Not sure about the Germanic theme, but slang I picked up somewhere over the years.

This car does have a zorst (well - eight TBH and probably even louder toons

This car has two

... and here is how he jacked it up

All of them go slower than standard. Except this one but there is no Zorst that I can see.

Isn't the zorst low down on the rear end

Back to the original question.

You might get away with some ball ended keys (do they exist for torx?) but the exhaust will at least need to be loosened to make working space. If not its a great excuse to fit a Remus system. They dont have a cross pipe.
