Rookie questions here folks;
I'm taking the motor out of my 75 e start.
Everything is going well so far...Primary came apart no problem as did the clutch.
The front isolastic is off and so is the top head steady. In fact, two of the three rear engine to engine plate bolts are out.
Just the top rear engine plate bolt is still in. I have this weird feeling that when I take out the last bolt,
the bike is going to collapse or fold in on its self. I have a length of wood resting under the crankcase on the frame rails.
The bike is currently on its center stand. Shocks are in place.. wheels, forks, tranny, air box, battery box, oil tank, and mudguards also still in place.
Help me out here....Should I take the bike off the center stand? Will it in fact "fold" in on its self when I remove the last bolt?
Will the engine tranny cradle pivot somehow?
Can I prop it up?
I am hoping to take the motor out as a unit.
Thank you in advance,
Glenn
