I have got a new engine and so am in the process of swapping them around unfortunatly I am not that good with spanners and things like that so you may see alot of me sorry. Thanks in advance Lukyboi
August 28, 201212 yr Alright mate, welcome to the forum. Once you get the other engine in, pick up a manual and set about the siezed engine. You cant beat hands on experience
August 28, 201212 yr Welcome, I have the exact same year model bike as you, do feel free to ask me any questions.
August 29, 201212 yr Ok as you said not so good with wrenches oops spaners..... so take alot of pictuers as you go removing the old motor. it will help sooooooo much .......another tip I can give you is to get a big piece of cardboard and put the bolts in as they correspond to where they came out from (punch holes in the board to fit bolts) then if you have to leave and come back to the job you don't have to relie on memory. Paper Tape and # wires both side of any plug ..so you can fit them back easly. This is how I taught my son and he is a wiz at striping and reassembling a bike now . AND #1 rule don't force it back together if it won't go have another look. Taping is OK.... Smashing breaks things good luck with the swap
