chevy7398 Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 its pretty easy once you get your pipes off you can see what all else needs to come off. Quote
flattrakker Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Posted September 28, 2007 everything is off the next step is to get the engine out.. is there any way to tilt it or anything? Quote
swrbansheeboy Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 after everything is removed/disconnected/unplugged and unscrewed (make sure the dampener rods under the engine are unbolted) wrap your frame in several layers of newspaper/rubber hose or anything that will keep you from gouging the crap out of it with a little electrical tape unless your frame is hammered and you dont care. next pull both the front and rear bolts from the motor mounts. now reach down through the frame where your tank sits (you did pull your tank didnt you?) and lift upward and forward on the engine, once it is out of the motor mounts you will want to pivot it forward dropping the front and raising the rear so the plugs will clear the frame ( you can bust the tops off an old set of plugs and thread them in to make it easier) once you get the right angle turn the engine 90 degrees and rest on the frame unless you have help then resituate your hands and remove from the bike...more than likley you will get antifreeze on your feet so dont wear good shoes for this...

FasterThanU90 Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 Anti-freeze on ur feet huh>? take out the plugs duh. get sum get grunt and pull it out the left side yea it likes to get hung up on the back motor mounts Quote
BellicoseBanshee Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 Don't smash your fingers! Seriously, pay attention while you take the engine out, it sucks to smash a finger or three. :mad: That engine is heavy! Quote
flattrakker Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Posted September 28, 2007 i already smashed a finger yesterday.. im doing this day by day taking my time so im in no rush today will be day three since it was in one piece. I was thinking tip it forward so cheers to that and it really does get hung up on the rear. Ill see how it goes tonight.. thanks guys Quote
phreak Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 after everything is removed/disconnected/unplugged and unscrewed (make sure the dampener rods under the engine are unbolted) i was fighting with getting my engine out until i realized i forgot those two bolts underneath. came right out with no problem. tilt the front back, twist/lean it to the left side, and it came right out.

BenBB Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 I think both times I pulled the bottom end I had the topend off already, and just crammed paper towels around the rods to keep anything from falling in. She's still a heavy bitch though... Quote
flattrakker Posted September 29, 2007 Author Report Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) well i got the head off and there is major play in the left piston. this is exactly the piston i thought to be slapping and exactly the reason i was going to rebuild. and i just found out it is the stock bore.. and stock pistons.. no rebuild in 11 years.. damnn banshees can be reliable Edited September 29, 2007 by YamahaPowr95 Quote
