Re: Engine Removal
Written by glennschechter on 10/14/2012 at 12:00 am

Good Info Skye,
I actualy was able to pull the engin and completly strip the frame of the PC that I parted out in less then an hour. I did youse an air rachet except on the exhaust flang nuts on the head. There I used an impact gun. I put all hardware in baggys and labled them or taped them to the parts they came off of. I do know that putting it back to gether would have taken alot more time.
When I put the stator from the 98 on to the 89 it was easy I just cut the conectors since they are in different locations, added some wire and soderd the wires and covered w/ heat shrink. I actualy belive I have a better conection then stock and w/ less resistance. I have never had a problem w/ my charging system since. Some are thinking why did I have to bump start my bike one morning at Deals Gap. I think I must have left the trunk light on.
Any way good info about being safe. The engine actualy weight is 175lbs. dry. I agree the gentalman doing the swap should have sombody helping him, but I think mostly to steady the frame when he slides the engine out. Maybe that person can bag parts. I have R&R other M/C engines and what a great way to learn about your bike. Buddy go for it, you can do it. It might take longer the first time but if you ever have to fix something on the side of the road you will know how to do it.
