Default Tappets

I am sorely tempted to set the tappets on my 02 1200 Bandit in the very near future...they are getting a little noisy...nothing major... just when cold. I have been putting it off cause I'm too lazy.

Just wondering if anyone had done theirs and what you ended up removing. A quick look in the book states you have to remove the seat and tank so you can gain access to the rocker cover. It doesn't state anything else other than the signal generator cover to be removed but from past experience I have found there is generally something they left out re removal to make the job easier

Cheers
