It should actually come out through the side. And the engines aren't all that heavy. You and 1 other person should be able to pull it out np.Kan-O-Gixxer!

You sure it comes out the side? I left my haynes manual at a buddy's house and before I forgot I glimpsed through the pages and my understanding was that it came out the bottom. But there wasn't any specific wording such as "the engine comes out the bottom". Wish I didn't forget it!1989 Suzuki Katana 750

Well, on my 98+, it comes out of the side. I can't really see it coming out of the bottom, because you would have to drop the engine, then lift the bike off of it. Part of the cross frame I think on the left hand side should unbolt, and then you undo the enigne mounts, and pull it out.Kan-O-Gixxer!

ok, i'm ready to drop the engine out of my 91 750, but need to know how i can support the bike to do so. i had planned on unbolting the bottom part of the frame and lowering the engine with it still attached, but i see it has the kickstand attached and that's the only thing supporting my bike at the moment. is there any way to get the motor out and still have the bike supported by the kickstand only or do i need the aid of another person to hold the bike up?

For the engine, build a stand out of wood to support the frame rails and use a shop jack to bring that up, then unbolt the engine supports & lower frame and lower the whole thing down and out.
PS - I have no clue what SweetLou is talking about bringing it out of the side... unless he laid his bike over first.

use you center stand thats on the bike, if you dont have that use a atv jack to keep it stable, if you dont have that you can make something like Mr. clean did when he changed his. pm him if you cant find the post that has the pictures of itThe Katana's Big Brother

good deal, thanks ya'll! i'm gonna talk to a welder friend and see if he can piece some stands together for me. i thought there was alot more involved in dropping the motor, so far it's been pretty easy...

Hm, I remember reading in the haynes manual (for the GSX600F) that the engine does actually goes down. First you have to remove the subframe around the engine. I'm interested on knowing how to remove the engine too, because I will perhaps be doing it this weekend and replacing the engine. What I understand you only have to support the engine with some hydralic jack, and then remove its supports.. and just slowly drop the engine.
