    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Removing 1100 from frame

Had a busy day wrenching. We've got everything detached from the engine and just need to get the recalcitrant engine bolts to let go and we can slide the engine out. I was worried about the header bolts but they loosened up with no issues. Once the engine is out, we can crack the case and find out why oil is mixing in with the hypoid oil.

If it is a G or GK and you are putting the bike on it's side to slide the motor out...

Do yourself a favor and use a 2 x 4 under the clutch cover while it is on it's side. The 1100 is a large engine in the frame . If the angle isn't quite right the motor will jam itself into the frame at weird angles, but never come free.

I learned on the first 30 minute attempt. After resetting the motor back into place (another 20 minutes) and a refreshing adult beverage I used the 2 x 4 to hold the motor level, and my wife assisted easily pulling the frame off the motor. 5 minutes from start to finish and we were enjoying another cold adult beverage.

:D
 
How much of the bike is torn down?Dr._puter is right,with a bare frame that is the easiest way.A little less so with everything left on the frame.
