They are a little heavier than they look too. Quote
87sheerips Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 make sure the gas tank is out, along with the plugs too :thumbsup: I usually take mine out the flywheel side of the frame. Nice and easy.... Quote
Wallrat Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 There's 4 bolts by the exhaust ports, 1 at the top rear of the engine, and 2 underneath. Easiest way is remove the tank. Definitely pull the plugs. Lift the front of the engine straight up, slide the whole thing forward a couple inches to clear the top rear mount, then rotate it sideways and slide it out. Quote
Animalman294 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 I just remove the front and rear motor mount bolts, remove the front motor mount brackets, plugs and carbs. I then take off the torque bars under the motor and let them hang down. Then I slide it out the clutch side of the frame. Easy peasy-lemon-squeezy..................... :biggrin: Quote
