anybody got any tips, steps,instructions on how the best way/easiest way to remove my 03 636 engine???? i crashed a 12" scrape yesterday and broke a few things. im guna replace my rear sets with the hohey's and i cant get em for a few weeks so im guna get my frame powder coated in my down time. also should i reinforce my frame before i get it powder coated??? if so what area shoud i do????

 

Its pretty self explainitory. I put a hydrolick jack unernieth the motor to ease it down.
As for the frame, I dont know. Just keep your cage tight and don't be *****, try to stick with the bike and let it down easy when your crashing. LOL!!!

 

well thats good advice!!!!!!!

 

Yeah, when I was learning circles I would just let my bike go. After doing that 100 times your frame is bound to crack.

 

yea i bet, im want to try to avoid that but hey, only one way to learn right??? got break thing while learing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Heres a link to download the service manual.

They'll have instructions on how to take out the motor. Right click where it says click here to play video then select save as, save to your desktop and open.

 

Remove exhaust, remove wiring, throttle bodies, and airbox. Remove front sprocket and pull chain out of way. Remove bolts and drop it. 45 minutes tops.

 

Throttle bodies don't have to come off.

 

Let me guess, you are going to unhook the cables from them? I just loosen the clamps on the tb's and roll them over the bars. To each his own.

 

Well if your powder coating the frame then you don't need to take off the throttle bodies or unhook the wire harness. Keep it all on the motor. Why take it all off???????

 

well after about only 3 1/2 hrs total time from a complete bike to just about all the way striped down. now i just hope i can put it all back together. anyone got any ideas about a bad *** color for the frame???? i was guna do it white but kinda boring and i dont want black because all the new bikes are black,,, so any input would be great!!!

and no i didnt unhook any wires or throttle cables, left em all attached.

 

thanks alot for the link!!!! i had it just about all the way there just got a little scared about droping the motor !!!!!!!!!!!

 

I wouldn't do black or red. Seems everyone has those. If I was going to pc mine it would be a bright blue.

 

What color are ur plastics?

Go for something loud maybe yellow or green.......

 

i just did mine

take off all the headers/tank/air box /throttle bodies/radiator (you dont need to remove the front sprocket just take the rear wheel off and slide the chain forward around and off the sprocket)

you will need a 10mm allen key and a tool for the castle nuts (i just used a piece of wood and a hammer)

then undo the top engine mount

place a jack under the motor and undo the upper of the 2 rear engine mounts

leave the bottom rear mount in and use that has a pivet point for the motor to swing down (you still need the jack under it) and when the motor is down on the floor undo the rear mount and she's out....

heres pics of mine

 

the plastics are orange & white but i was thinking about changing to blue of green full fairings,,,,,, either way im thinking about powder coating it all white???? any input about reinforcing the frame?? or leave it as is??
