Cylinder head exhaust stubs removal ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

tom400f:
You could always try the technique of lying the frame down on its side with the engine in it and lifting the frame away from the engine once the bolts are removed. I've not done it but I believe its a method others on here have used.

Not sure how easy it is to manhandle a 750 engine (unless you are Geoff Capes that is  :P)

Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
HI Paul.
Like they say, it does come out but unless like someone mentioned your like Capes its fairly easy with two.On sunday I am going to put mine back with my mates help.He is well knowledged on this as he has helped for the fourth time.Be done in five Min's.
Take your time best of luck

Bryanj:
As long as you have the oil filter off it is possible but easier with the sump and rectangular top cover off as well.

It can be done on your own but wear a back brace or startpracticing soprano singing

K2-K6:
I've always done as Bryanj says with sump and top breather cover removed......but will add that I take the oil pump off to avoid clobbering it on anything.

If you look at the clutch side of the engine.....then rotate it anti-clockwise just far enough so that the lugs on the engine clear the coresponding frame lugs then it comes out slowly but quite easily.....I've always had two people also to ensure you can do it well.

Maybe worth taking off any of the breather pipe guides on the back of the gearbox as well if it has them.

Hi paul i understand what your saying now, yes it does help to take out the exhaust studs, if you put two nuts on the stud and lock them together then put the spanner on the bottom nut and undo the stud should come out, yes the engines on these have very little room for fitting or removal, as mentioned in above posts remove sump cover and top breather cover, plus studs and you will have an easier job removing it, but the best way is laying the frame on its side and taking out the engine bolts then just lift off the frame from engine, simples i say, but only if your prepared to strip everything off the bike so its frame and engine left
