The exhaust valves are in the cylinder. No they will not just fall out when you remove the clyinder. The top end can be serviced with engine in the frame. Remove seat tank/shrouds/pipe. In some cases I like to remove the radiators just to keep from banging the fins.

Thanks for the info guys, I talked to the previous and he said the same thing you guys did about the exhaust valve and tear down.
