Dennis had a question about the process involved in swapping out an entire engine assembly to a new frameset. Begin here:

I'm pulling the engine from an S3 to be put into an S1W frame. My thinking is it would be easier to do this with removing the swingarm. I'd cradle the motor, unbolt the motor mounts from the frame, drop in the new frame and be done with it.
Does this sound reasonable???

If you are doin the whole shabang I would undo the Isolator bolts, front motor mount an all ti bars, undo wiring an oil lines an take the frame off the whole motor an swing arm assembley.
Reason being, it is a pain in the ass to tourqe down those swing arm mounting block bolts while it is in the frame.

You really could go either way. Do you want to drop the motor out, or lift the frame off? You should seriously consider replacing your rear isolators (update with 2001 if you don't have them already) as long as you have them exposed. And service the swingarm bearings. |
