Pulling the motor.

[GSXTacy]

OK, I need to get the tranny undercut. I will be pulling the motor for the first time (I am a little intimidated). I will also be replacing the clutch basket, clutch and shift forks. What special tools will I need? Any advise for a first timer? Anyone got a good hookup as to where to get the parts and work done that I need. Ive got a few weeks before I start the project and could use all the advise I can get!

Wish I could help you Chris, I would be intimidated too. Be sure and mark and bag everthing.

I made some sockets to remove the engine lock nuts... You're welcome to use them. This is the first time in 3 years that I'm NOT pulling my motor out! LOL

Like James said, mark everything. I used little cups and yogurt containers...

It's not as bad as it looks. I use zip lock bags with labels for everything. Just take your time and you'll get it done. I think the biggest help is to have someone there to help you lowering the engine out.

Take lots of digital pictures, before, and during.
This will help if you get confused or something doesn't look right.

Also here are some videos of a guy rebuilding his motor.
May give you some hints.

Chris, did I miss something? Are you having transmission issues, or just trying to avoid them? I've been having some trouble with the 1-2 shift under load, but not any slipping or jumping out of gear in second. You?

I think goldenchild had some in stock might be easier than waiting a couple weeks to get it back ? mine was done at R and D in florida was about a six week turnaround time

At the end of the season, I felt the telling 2nd gear skip. I had the bike pretty much sold but couldnt pull the trigger knowing something like that was wrong. I have the bike set up just how I like it now and still love it 30K miles later. I will just make it bulletproof now and enjoy it for a long time to come.

Anyone familiar with these guys? Seems like a decent deal.
