I've honestly never used this method to remove/reinstall the front cylinder head cover but I'm sure it works. With the cover on but not bolted in place, I always peer over the radiator and around the sides to verify that the formed gasket is not ajar.
ps. if you don't rev the engine much, the valve clearances seem to stay OK for a long, long time. I did a check on Debbie's bike @ 27k miles and they were all OK. Going by the appearance of everything, I'd say it was the first time anyone had been inside the engine.
