Strange noise from the engine suddenly

[Ryan_B]

Anybody that can give me info about removing the engine from the frame?

I have not done this before. Their is no shop that have time here for the first weeks.
This is a little bit scary.

I can't. You are well past anything I have done on mine... Sorry - but glad you seem to have located the noise though.

@SupraSabre - I think I saw a picture recently on the best practice for pulling an engine (I think it included a tractor ). Would you have any tips to help PanRider? Is it easier to remove the entire engine to get this bearing out of the housing?

I have used two ways to remove the engines from the frame.

The first left the heads on, but required to lift the frame off the engine. I stripped the bike down, since I wasn't using this frame. You probably don't need to strip it down that far.





The other method, I pulled the heads off and dropped the engine from the frame. And I slid it out to the left. Then strong armed it to the ground.





You're probably looking at having to remove the rear cover, to get to that area.



Good luck.

I have decided to make this a winter project. This is to stressfull a week before my vacation.
On the internet i found another ST1300 two years jonger (2008) and with only 30.000 km on the clock. Same color. It is almost new.
Spoke to the seller an hour ago, i go pick this beauty up tomorrow.
The most importand things i will transfer from my own bike.
This is better.

Excellent! Great find!

Pulling these engines is not for the faint at heart. When I pulled these two out, was because I figured if I couldn't get the good engine (ex cop 06) into the 05, (bad engine) I had nothing to loose, since I have two good running ST1300s anyway!

I'm glad you found another ST1300, at least you'll be able to ride this summer!

If you're going to be taking the rear cover off over the winter, you might want to consider a Factory Pro shift kit while you're in there. I have one of them in mine and it makes a dramatic improvement in shift feel and engagement. Like they say- false neutrals and missed shifts are a thing of the past with the kit. Well worth the $125 they charge for it.
