I have a leaky base gasket leak on the front cylinder, what's the easiest way to brace the motor before removing the front isolator mount from the frame. Thx, Adam 99M2

Rook, I always use a racheting tiedown around the upper frame and all the way around the motor/trans between the shock and cases

I use a scissor jack. That way I can move the motor up and down to make removing the heads and cylinders easier. Then when I have removed all I need, I use a tiedown. So I can roll the bike around.
