I've tilted mine several times for carb cleaning and valve adjustment at the same time. I didn't think that valve cover would come off without tilting as it looked pretty tight.
My triumph triple on the other hand is a b....h to remove valve cover, no engine tilt either not to mention that access to and removal of shims is crazy. It takes me longer to check and measure its 12 valves than CBX's 24
