Crankcase pry points?
Are there any on a '81 GS850GLX? So, everything that's supposed to come off the motor is off - clutch, head, block, etc. The last few steps are remove the top crankcase bolts, oil pan and bottom crankcase bolts...all done. The bottom half of the crankcase should lift off after a few taps on the sides of the lower case with a dead blow. Yeah, but it's not happening. There's not even a hint of movement. It's stuck on there real good. I've taken apart a bunch of old bikes and was always able to get the cases split with some gentle prodding but not this one.Tags: None

Did you remove the clutch and all the various parts behind such as the drive shaft plate?Ed
To measure is to know.

I swore up and down ten times over that there's no possible way that I missed a crankcase bolt. Not me, I'd never miss a bolt. Guess what? I missed a bolt. It's under a long engine mounting bolt. I never saw it cuz the motor was on my engine stand and supported by the engine mounting bolt...which hid the culprit. Everything came apart in my hands as soon as I unfastened it.
