And now you'll notice that you've put the engine into the wrong frame ;)

Haha
Twins breed in the garage- transverse and in frame :lol:
My rate is a bed, as much coffee and beer that I can consume and £10 p/h

3 sets of hands make it easier going in and out

B will clarify if this is wrong:

1. Stip off all the bodywork (it makes it easier)
2. Drop the radiator off and drain
3. Trolley jack under the sump
4. Chain off
5. Trottle bodies off
6. Tag up the loom and stip off the motor
7. Remove all the engine bolts, except the main centre and rear mounts (Rear lower right is the main position bolt)
8. Back off the suzuki special bolts so they're clear of the motor
9. Get your helpers to support the motor and remove the centre then rear
10. Slowly lower the motor
11. Get the motor off the jack or jack the frame up off the motor

Voila 45kg of motor out

Getting it back in:

1. Give everything a clean down while the frames bare
2. Get two willing helpers to assist
3. Walk the motor into the frame
4. Lift the motor (two man job) and get the jack under
5. Keep one person to keep the motor balanced
6. Jack up the motor and line up the rear
7. Get the rear engine mount in (Lower R/H Side one)
8. Line up the main centre bolt in
9. Jack not required
10. Get the rest back in and its now the reverse of the start

Voila

You will need several special tools to remove the engine. If you've got a decent workshop and lots of spare sockets, you can make them. There's two different sizes of castlated sockets required but these can be made by grinding out the excess of the correct size sockets. You'll also need a 19mm 6 sided socket to back off the engine centralising adjusters.

Cheers for that guys. I've got the special tool. Might have to invest in a trolley jack. And might need some extra hands :)
