Engine pulling on an 05

[vmax735]

Hey Guys,

Looking for resources online to illustrate how to pull the motor ... I found water in the #3 cylinder and need to prob replace the head gasket , i'm guessing ....

Have the fairing off , just trying to line up what I need to do ...

Thanks Phil

take the exh off...drain fluids (rad / oil) remove air box stuff...throttle cable...battery...take more pictures than you think you may need...undo the wiring...a piece of cardboard labeled helps because some bolts are long and some are shorter in the same area....take the frame bolts out (get the chain off the sprocket)...and lower / pivot the engine to the ground with a floor jack or hands/legs if you are feeling strong...it is not hard just make sure note where things go

Make sure you look through the service manual because I know one person that damaged the frame pulling the motor. These bikes don't take a lot of torquing on. They're built to be as light as possible which makes them somewhat delicate.
