Having 2 people helps a lot (1 being a bike mech helps a lot)

Take it out from the right hand side.
Remove the 10mm bolt right at the front/bottom(ish) of the engine - it just catches on the frame.

2 mins - Pull the seat/tank.
5 mins - Pull the carb.
5 mins - Disconnect the battery, wires, breathers.
2 mins - Right footpeg.

3:06pm finished dumping the oil.

3:11pm engine out.

lol, maybe if I can get enough hands I can sit back and watch.
I really dislike working on that kind of thing but maybe it'll be good for experience.
I have crap tools though too.

I shouldn't be offering but I'm happy to help as well. We could have it out in one evening no worries. I'll even bring some tools

Maybe one evening later this week?
