Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.

What is the easiest engine removal technique for a KZ650. I need to swap engines in 2 1977 KZ650's. I've already broke my back once(accident) and would not like to do it again. Any tips or tricks? Heard about laying bike over engine. Anybody done this?

That method works great if the frame is bare. Never tried it with a full bike. Would be worried about blinkers and such.

I left the filter cap and bolts off for the install, big help.
