how to remove a motor from a 2005 z-10 kawasaki motorcycle ?

Answer:

My experience has been it is easier to remove the frame from the motor. Using scrap 2x4's I make a platform to support the motor. I follow the service manual as what to disconnect and unbolt. I also remove the forks and swing arm. However, instead of removing the motor from the frame, I remove the frame form the motor. It is more manageable specially if one does not have a helper. I was able to assemble a 1500cc Vulcan using this technique with no help.
1/. undo every nut and bolt you can find and eventually it will fall to bits. 2/. buy the workshop manual. 3. Ask if your local Tek college do courses. 4/. go to www.carlsalter.cm and down load a manual,free. A Little tip for you. I bought a none runner ?5 paid for it, was a while ago, like 50 years, really, pushed it 3 miles home, ka nak ed, and having absolutely no idea where to start, simply kept undoing things until it was in bits, spread over the workshop floor. Spread out so i would know what came from where. Dad decided I was taking up too much room and put al the bits into boxes! Stripped every thing except the spoked wheels, and eventually finished the rebuild/replacements and tried to fire it up. Two stroke, no idea how to time it, asked my Dad, he did it fired it up, snicked it into gear and shot of backwards up the yard! Oops, timed wrong. Sorted that and off I went. Road it to college 10 miles every night for 3 years, through thick snow each winter, 1960's. Cost me fiver to buy it, ?30 to re-bore, build, paint it, and it never let me down. I had no previous, no manual, just a note pad and some tools. Sold it for ?30 and bought a B31 350cc, in a similar state and id the same to that. Next worked 2 jobs saved up bought a new Norton 650ss, awesome.Now on G S's for (too) many years and still do all of my own servicing etc. Don't do tyre swaps any more hard job with modern tyres. So, if i can do it so can you, so just surprise your self and go for it bro.
