Removing and Installing Motorcycle Engines - Tools and Tips!

I do a lot of engine work and what that means, is that I'm constantly pulling engines out of, and putting engines back into all these bikes!

Here are a few of the main tools I use in my shop that make doing this job by yourself much easier. Removing a motorcycle engine isn't necessarily difficult but engines are heavy and awkward, so making your life and job easier is always a good thing.

Blew the head gasket out on my 85 V65 Honda Saber. These tips will probably save me some headaches. Wish me luck. I really hope I get it fixed right. Love that thing.

I'm putting engine in a 1996 Suzuki bandit gsf600 and a 1985 Yamaha maxim xj700. I removed both motors by myself with 3 cinder blocks and and basic hand tools and a car floor jack lol. I removed the engines fairly easy.installing both new engines is making me a little nervous lol. Hope it's not too much harder than removing them

Can I just come shadow and work for you! You're so great at teaching!

i've just recently installed my own chain and tires for the first time, so i'm feeling all super manly and everything, but if you have any more tips i'd certainly appreciate it.
i really would have liked to see you install the engine. i'm about to install one myself in a 2018 Kawa Z900. do you think that's something a newb like me should attempt?

Hello, I have to replace the engine to my 2008 VTX 1800T. Do you think the set up you have would work for this motorcycle engine? Larry Shea has a youtube video using two "poles"(?) [I don't know the technical name] to remove the 300+lbs engine. Also, can you give me an estimate as to how much I'm looking to spend on specifically engine removing tools? Thank you so much!

Another question. How easy is it to replace engines for Chinese bikes since most of them share similar bodies and chassis?

I just got an engine swap yesterday and I took my bike home (2013 zx6r 636). However, the throttle and engine braking feels much more rougher like more violent than before. It's not smooth like before. Is that normal? Will it smooth out later on its own? The new swap engine had less than 2, 500 miles on it.
