Thanks for the excellent tutorial, I didn't crack a manual and had it out in 2.5hrs...It took a little longer than it should Bc I had munged up rust bolt where the removable frame section & foot peg were. Engine weighs about 163lbs sans heads if anyone is wondering

You are welcome. Yea people tend to make this job seem a lot harder than it is. Doing a complete swap in a normal day is not difficult at all. Couple hours out couple hours in and a couple hours for tuning and she is road ready again!!
