First thing you want to do is take the chain tensioner off of the bike. Then you can pull the cam gear off to get to the chain. Don't drop the chain in the case, so get a piece of wire to hold it. Next remove the allen bolt in the side of the head, then the 4 head bolts. You should be good to go.
You'll have to remove the gas tank and front fenders if you didn't already know.
Also if you take a peek around you'll find manuals that you can down load and pictures as well!

yea i got all of the plastic off of it, and getting ready to take the head off tommarow just didnt know what to do about the timing chain,do i need a puller of the cam gear

 

[jasonp]

no.. You'll have to take the 4 allen bolts off of the cover on the left side of the engine to hold the engine from turning over when taking the cam bolt off.

Although you're not supose to use a impact gun on ANY fastner that is on the engine I would guess that you could.. just be careful. Also use red loctite when putting back together.
BTW: you'll eventually have to pull that cover off to line up the timing marks when going back together.

every fastner is metric.. just so you know if not already
