Title: Putting engine in frame
Post by: sytsmadad on February 21, 2013, 11:17:54 AM
Anyone have any tips or tricks to puttingthe engine back in the frame? I just finished the rebuild on my 1993 Suzuki GS500E. The engine is giving me headaches trying to get it back into the frame. Is there an easy way to back it back in?

I have descriptions and photos in by build threads: either the one for West Seattle  GS500 build or Junior's Demise. I recall it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to put in a motor with no help.

Some notes on removing the motor. Installing is the reverse. Hope this helps

Thanks for all the tips. It was a PITA to say the least, but I got it done.

Part of it involved one inch up or down and a little turning. You have to look at it in little steps. Not a major 5" up or down.
I find 10 minutes all by myself is all it takes. Then the first time I spent part of an evening and then part of the next day analyzing how to do it and trying things. Now it is really easy.
