    Default engine removal??

    Hi all....whats the easiest way to get the motor out of my vt?? i,v spun a bearing and am pilling it out 2moz, one way or the other.

    With my VN i found it easier to undo the K-frame and lift the body off it.

    dont want to do that again if i have to....

    any thoughts appreciated...


    cheers davo...

    i would of thought the easiest option would be to take all the sh*t off then tilting the engine, front facing around 45 degrees and pulling it out in the same angle and direction

    If u got the equipment, take the bonnet out then lift the engine.I find it lot easier and less time consuming that way.

    yeah remove bonnet, un attach transmission from engine, get a-frame, attach a frame to engine, and simply jack up and remove.
