Looking for Engine Removal tips

Postby El Diablo » Thu Jan 22, 2015 10:11 pm

Attempting to remove engine on 81 CB650c. Oil pan looks like it's gonna be a pain to clear the frame. Any tips?

Does the right side of the frame not unbolt on the custom? check it out it should unbolt unless they changed it,
If they did, i had to pick up the back, towards the seat while sliding the front down the frame and twist it out on my hardtail frame.

Theres a sub-frame on the bottom end on the drivers right side, In my opinion if you can strip the fragile parts off lay down some old blankets and get it on its side its the easiest on your back. Can't remember if its easier to go through the right or left side but I imagine going through the right is easier. Goodluck just use common-sence and take your time.

Yeah! Subframe baby! That was much easier than I thought it would be. Removing that subframe piece made all the difference. Thank you very much for the tip!
