Re: Engine Removal
Written by nusbaum01 on 4/30/2015 at 12:00 am

Thank you for the feedback.  The advice is greatly appreciated. The replacement has 24K miles with no signs of any leaks.  I'm dealing with some oil leaks and occasional trans slippage in my current engine.  Interestingly enough it seems a lot more cost effective to replace the engine and keep the old one for parts rather than try to tear it apart and fix it.
Take care.
Tim

    The wiring harness for the 89 only fits the 89. If you compare the wiring diagrams for the 89 w/ the others you'll see the plugs for the stator are different. I believe the 89 has 4 leads on the connector and the other years only have three com

    Do you happen to know if a 96 engine will fit in a 94 bike?  If you don't know do have any idea where I can check?  Thanks in advance for the reply. Tim

    Tim, a 96 engine into a 94 frame will work.  No problems, everything will match up.   Removal is about an hour to two, replacement is about 4 - 5 hours.   Make sure you keep track of and mark your parts.   Make sure
