But, here is a simple engine stand just in case you want one: Cut 10 18" pieces of 2x4 and build according to picture. Space the top 2 pieces 6 1/4" inches from each other measuring from the inside. Measure and drill 1.75" hole for primary adjuster to fit into. Good Luck!   Yo_barry Posted on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - 12:59 pm:        I just replaced the belt on my 2001 S3T. I had the rear raised up with my centerline lift (frame supported by footpegs) and the front lifted with my Pitbull jack. When I got to the point of removing the right isolator, I held the rear of the engine up with a floor jack under the rear of the muffler. I protected the muffler with a 2x4 block with a 6.5" radius between the jack and the muffler. You don't need to raise the frame to replace isolators. The technique is to force the motor to the left, compressing the left isolator enough to remove the right, then move the motor to the right so the left drops out. Here is a technique that works for this... http://danielcstarr-pages.blogspot.com/2008/09/una uthorized-scott-free-technique-for.html Barry   Mtjm2 Posted on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - 04:20 pm:        That's what I was looking for Zombie, Thanks much. Buellistic, will pm you before I do the job. The reason I want the engine stand is so I can remove and clean up or pc the swing arm. Zombie, that motor is sick nice. Too much chrome for me but I like it. Are the forks off an XR?   Buellistic Posted on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - 05:07 pm:        Mtjm2: Waiting to hear from you ...   Mtjm2 Posted on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - 05:36 pm:        Buellistic, I'm not ready yet. You'll be the second one to know when I am. Thanks dude.   Kc_zombie Posted on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - 05:57 pm:        MT, your welcome. Forks are new old stock from 2001 X1.
