    This is the easy way to do it.I use an automotive floor jack, a short piece of 2 X 6 under the engine with short pieces of wood to level the engine and jack ...

      Damn that sounds so much like how Eric (7981GS) would talk on here it ain't funny.

      Actually, just checked out his other videos and yea, it's him.

        I was out to sea when whatever happened and he was no longer here. But I've PM'ed him lots of times and bought several items off him and he was golden. He'd also send me off to other sources if he didn't have what I was after.

          He said in the video he had to slide the motor back in for his demo.

                Yes, and he didn't put it in far enough to be meaningful. Once the motor is as far out as where it was when he started the demo, the hard parts are done. An effective demo would have been to start when it's all the way in. I'm not saying he doesn't know his GS's, but knowing the starting steps, what to remove, watch for, etc.

                  I agree. If it started with the motor fully in the frame, just completely unbolted, O.K. As is, who really cares, the hard part is already done. All he shows is that you have a jack and a board it makes it easier to put onto the board. Whatever.

                    I really can't understand all the fuss in removing the engine? I have done it 3 times over 30 years with about 10 years between each time so it is a learning experience each time. I just unhook everything, put floor jack under sump, remove breather cover, tilt engine up in the back, straddle frame and lift the engine over the frame. Then wiggle it out of the frame onto a stack of wood or a milk crate.

                    I am only 5'10" and 175 pounds and not as strong as I was the last time I did it. I did it last night and it only took me 10 minutes once everything was unbolted.

                    Maybe people just think it is a daunting task and get worked up over it and this creates difficulties?

                    Cheers

                    I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.
