hey i saw your answer about taking the motor out yourself... i took a z-1 out a few weeks back and i left the kickstarter on and my girl with a glove on her hand helped pull up on the kickstarter as i did the lifting out in small stages ...we got it balanced on the frames left cradle and i came around the bike and she was all into helping ..she really just steered the wheight from the kickstarter as i lifted it to a stand on the ground...i know you know all this...i just thought it was really easy for her and she said it was'nt even heavy...i was gonna do it myself too..so as not to yell at her if it started tipping and start a fight...but together it was a breeze...the third hand helped tons ....good luck

I lift the motor out with a helper and rest(balance) it onto the right side lower rail. Then walk around to that side so both of us can finish the removal from the rt side.
I tried pluming pipe foam once but the motor cut throgh it and chipped my new paint.With powder coat u may get away with less than the 1/16" thick ruber i used.
I took mine out again yesterday. since i am taking it apart anyways i removed the head, cyl,and pistons first.
