Just to clarify, it's the engine mounting bolts I was referring to.
The lower left in particular is the one to watch, if the bolt is too long it will go through the casing.
The Parts List seems pretty comprehensive in terms of bolt size and length information.
Pops400:
Yes, I understood Chris,was working on the assumption that mounting bolts would be included in a kit, but thinking about it, I guess they would probably be separate. :-\

Another job done. Nice one.
Just my two cents on putting it back in as I did my 750 on Friday, I bought two bags of klin dried sand then put a old blanket on top, drop the engine on its side and placed it on top of the sand and abracadabra instant helper. Piece of cake.

Quite a good idea, Steve, but to be honest it was a fair wrestle to get it out, so I don't think I'm going to risk damaging anything. Will probably enlist help on the day and do it upright.
mike the bike:
Upright is a better way. it means the frame is relatively stable while you carry out the fiddly task of getting the engine in without chipping the paint or breaking fins.
