550f1 engine removal

(1/3) > >>

shifter:
Hi Guy's , can anyone tell me , is it possible to remove a 550 engine from the frame without removing the sump , I understand  removing breather cover would be necessary, also is it easier to lift out from left or right

shifter:
Many thanks odd job, I didn't really wanted to disturb sump, but it sounds I have to , eh  cheers,

JustcallmeMrT:
I've had success removing the oil filter, breather cover and points cover, then  lay the engine on the right side on a nice soft surface (pillow) and lift the frame off of it.  Saves removing the sump, but not easy if the bike is fully assembled.

matthewmosse:
I always just pull the oil filter and breather cover, but then I am not the sort to worry about the paint and genrally have wanted the engine swapped inside a weekend. Also I wouldn't want to risk scoring the sump gaskett face when juggling an engine in a fully built up bike with no helpers around.

Nurse Julie:
I managed to remove the engine on my 550 with the sump still attached, I just removed the oil filter housing and breather cover and it came out on it's side no problem. Also, as I'm standing here looking at the sump, I wouldn't sit the engine on the floor without the sump on as there is a little oil tube thingy, that looks like that would hit the deck and snap off. I will say, I did have to have help to actually lift the engine from the floor once out of the frame  ;D ;D ;D ;D
