Have 2005 Yamoto 110, shaft drive and I need to remove the engine or at least pivot it to free up space to access the head and replace the head gasket. Hit a roadblock trying to figure out how to pull the shaft drive setup off. In the way of the lower engine mounting bolt. Any experiences out there on this to point me in the right direction? Thanks!

 

Welcome to the forum Rockman09 !

Wish i could help you but Ive never even seen a shaft drive 110. Except for when i picked up my Yamoto 150... That was 5 yrs ago and I didnt look very close...Hopefully someone will have one and know the answer..

 

Thanks for the reply. I actually ended up removing the rear swingarm which freed up the drive shaft and U-joint. The drive setup on the motor was then able to be pulled off. That swingarm bolt was not very exciting to take out! With the drive setup out of the way the lower motor bolt was accessible and removed. I was able to pivot the motor on the upper mounting bolt and pull the head off without pulling the engine. Maybe this post will help someone else.

 

Im sure it will help some one Rockman09 ... Thanks for the reply. Glad to hear you got it figured out..
