Title: Re: Engine swap Post by Justinmkantor on 07/19/09 at 21:22:41 I was just switching the engines, no harnesses. I can just cut, solder, the few wires it takes to hook it up i think. Anything else I need to know. I bought a bike that I know the engine is good and want the 5 speed as well. How easy is a swap? Can 1 person pick up the engine? Any tips? |

Title: Re: Engine swap Post by Yonuh Adisi on 07/19/09 at 21:28:21 I have taken out and put my engine back in a few times by my self. I wouldn't recommend it, but there are techniques to make it easier. One is lay the engine on it's side then lay the frame over the engine and lift both back up. I could never figure out to exactly do it though so I just keep hurting my back lifting the thing in and out. |

Title: Re: Engine swap Post by verslagen1 on 07/19/09 at 21:59:08 The CDI's are different, best to use one of the same vintage as the engine. Easy way to yank the engine. remove all the wires, bolts and brackets. lay a blanket on the lawn. lay the bike on the blanket. wiggle the engine free of the frame. set the engine upright Ask the wife to give you a hand say thank you now can we pick up the engine and put it on the bench? it's about 80# althought I still don't trust the fedex scale it don't feel that heavy. |
