Javier, removing the motor seems like too much work and struggle, untill you've done it. I've taken out the motor in my 91 750 and it wasn't as bad as I thought. It's just a lot of wrenching. I did it by myself too. Took it out one day, worked on it and put it back together the next day. I did take a lot of pictures in the process to make sure that I put it back correctly. If you have a friend to help, it's even better. I must say I was relieved when I got it started after reassembly. Of course I speak for myself and we all know ourselves and our limitations. Believe you me, there are things beyond my aptitude and I leave those to people who know what they are doing. Is it worth all the work and doing it right? You know the answer. Take it to a shop, or invite a few friends and get it done in one day. These bikes are worth it!

I've watched videos of replacement on a GS and they left the engine in. It was burried below the stator rotor though.Sent via BlackBerry by AT&TFrom: Javier Garcia <jajgar...@gmail.com> Sender: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2014 23:50:41 -0400To: nighthawk_lovers<nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com>ReplyTo: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Starter clutch So apparently the starter clutch went bad on the 85 NH 700s. The starter seem to be spinning freely. I just looked at the manual and it calls for engine removal as step 1. Ouch. And then you need to to basically disassemble the whole thing to get there. Has anyone here ever done this job? are there are short cuts? Any advice is appreciated.
