My son (who is huge and enormously strong, also lazy) has found the easiest way to get the engine out of his K7 is to lie the bike down lift the frame off the engine.
The CXs are easy. We built an engine height trolley and just roll it under the bike, undo the the bolts etc. and roll it away. Just as well because we seem to have them in and out fairly often.  :P

THAT IS SO BS

I can lift an awful lot, but you cant just walk away appearing unloaded with a complete SOHC motor. I mean the guy just about had a skip in his step when he was walking away from the camera  ??? . Just plain BS. But the message is real.

Two things I noticed was 1) there's no shifter shaft sticking out of the case, and 2) there's no cam chain tensioner either.  Maybe (almost gotta be) empty cases.
