motorcycle engines are just like car engines except the transmission is in the same case as the crank. The same principles apply. Be neat, clean, and organized. Get a manual so you know what the tolerances are supposed to be.

Dropping and engine on a bike is a cake walk too.

TIP: you will need some special tools like the clutch holder which you can make or buy.

 

im getting the manual today at the local dealer. but to take off the head, will i have to mess with clutch, since you brought up the tool thing? thanks for the replies.
