Does anyone have a guide to removing the engine?

I want to get the frame ready for paint but not sure on how to go about this.

you don't need to remove the engine to paint the frame
take the tank and fairings off and use newspaper to wrap the engine etc .....then paint it
I done this and it looked bloody good for a few years till I stripped the bike down to the frame for a rebuild

did you sand or scuff up the frame before painting? and what kind of paint did you use?

when I first done the frame ....I flattened it down with some 1200 grade wet n dry and then painted it with satin pj1......it came out bloody well

This is what I did with my '01 a number of years ago as well and it was excellent
