Just wanted to tack onto this topic myself. I had a cylinder seize on my YZF and have bought a replacement engine. I just wanted to pick every bodies brains as I am not a trained mechanic and not got a vast amount of experience with bikes. I just wanted to know the best way to extract the engine and install the new one. Are there any specialist tools required or can it be done with a basic tool kit. P.S. I've seen people using hoists,is that essential? Many thanks in advance!!!

Well, its finally done! Got hold of a pretty fresh i.e. less than 6000 miles on the clock, YZF750 engine to replace the one that has seized in mine.

Hi Mike,what are you riding? Hope to get a donor engine soon.

Hello all,acquired non-running YZF750R...engine seized up! Would appreciate any help or advice about getting it back on the road. Cheers! Simon
