I'm looking for help with my Concours. I'm replacing the motor (the old one hydrolocked and broke a rod which went through the case). I have a 2001 and I'm installing a motor from a 2002. I can't get the motor into position to install the mounting bolts. What is the best way to tilt, twist, angle, or otherwise manouver the thing into place??? Does it go in from the right or left? with the back up first or the front up first? Seems like it must be something like removing the valve cover - it works if you know how to do it. I have the motor screwed to a plate mount which is mounted onto a floor jack so I can roll it around and jack it up. But the valve cover hits the front mounts before I can get the final drive through the hole in the frame to move it far enough rearward. Or if I move it to the rear to get the front mounts first then the final drive won't fit up through the hole. There is no helpful informatioin in the K shop manual. If you can't answer, do you know anyone else who could? Any other sources or information???
