Misha2001 20 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Help!!!! I am trying to remove the engine from my GSX750. I have removed all the mountings (what’s with Suzuki using all odd sizes of bolt heads?..), and laid the bike down on its right side. I have jiggled the lump but am now stymied.. I can’t see how to move the engine high enough to clear the sump, but the rocker cover fouls the the frame up top. Do I have to remove the rocker cover to remove the engine? Any and all advice appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to post
Mouse 73 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Never removed a gsx engine, but on a lot of other bikes i have had to remove the rocker cover to get the engine out, every cm counts. give it a go as nothing to lose for about 10 mins work, but i am sure someone with experience with this bike will be along soon Mouse.

fab 17 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 i had to remove the cam cover on my gsx1100, so i would say yes you have to remove it as both motors are physically the same size externally Quote Link to post

I had suspected that, just wanted to check with someone who had the same experience. I can now put the angle grinder away Quote Link to post
Swiss Toni 998 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Take the sump & pick-up off. That’ll give you more room than the cam cover. Both would give more. Edited January 22 by Swiss Toni 1 Quote Link to post
TonyGee 244 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 this is where the bandit and inazuma (and others) make life a piece of piss to get an engine in and out Quote Link to post
Dezza 1,781 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Removing the sump and pick-up is easier than removing the cam cover. If the engine has been standing in a hedge for years both are going to have to come off anyway, although it would have been a whole lot easier to do this before the engine mounts were removed. You'll know for next time though. 1 Quote Link to post
