Title: engine removal
Post by nablats on 08/29/16 at 04:49:51

heyup from Yorkshire again, I have my engine loose of all bolts etc, removal seems to be hindered by the battery box mounting brackets preventing lifting of said lump. I have no `helpers` with this lifting, is it necessary to remove swingarm pivot so bracket can be removed?

The battery box/engine mounts are removable....you have to unbolt those from the frame to provide clearance (that is why they are removable). ;)

Some people have laid the bike over, removed the last bolts,, picked up the frame.

I use a 4 or 5" piece of pcv pipe and rope, put rope thru pipe and thru hole where you removed the top rear engine mounting bolt and tie a good knot take engine out of rightside. Use the handle and grab at base of cylinder with the other hand. I put a plastic milk crate next to bike so once it's out set it on the milk crate, rest a minute,now move it to the work bench. Done

The engine will have enough clearance to be lifted off with only one of the brackets removed. To be lifted back on the second one had to be removed too.
