    Yes. The swinger isn't attached to the engine at all. All that has to be removed/disconnected is the fuel tank, intake, electrical, chain, and exhaust.

    83 R.

    There might be someone who can do it, but I could not figure it out. With the top end still on it, I had to remove the swingarm and the linkage to get the motor out. The Clymer book doesnt tell much about removing the 83, just the older ones. After disassembling mine, I think that the 83 is quite a different animal compared to the rest of R's. Gook luck.

    LMAO , what are you people thinking?, YES you have to take the swingarm off, the shock brace is one of the motor mounts, LMAO, and the swingarm bolt holds down the back of the engine, you tell you me a way that you can take the engine out without taking the swingarm off, cuz i would really like to hear it
    Give me no lip and I tell you no lie.

    83

    I would like to know how also. As I said before, it was impossible to do in my frame and it says 83 right on the frame. Thanks.

    Only with the top end off

    My brother did mine when I had the jug off to have it bored. It can be done.
    400ex, looking for a 1984 250r(running or roller) or a 200x.
