Engine full of fuel and seized up

Blimey, I’d take engines out all week for £665 a pop. I’d need my 6’7” human engine hoist mate too, but he’s happy to work for cups of tea.

I think that's a classic case of pricing yourself out of the job because he didn't want to do it.

I've only taken one 750 motor out...and it was a traumatic experience. Also invovled a quick break to visit casualty after I cut my hand doing it when the motor slipped and a fin squished my hand against the frame. Still...it's all part of the learning curve.

Having shifterd a KAwasaki 750 motor on my own before...I was unprepared for just how damn heavy the 750-4 engine is

Nope, as i asked about and that is a standard rate these days at a main dealer. They would have to carefully store the exhausts, tank,  side panels and the rest of the bike. Then not damage the bike frame in any way or the customer could claim.

Wow. £1330 to take take an engine out and put it back again. I'm in the wrong job. Bloody hell!!
