Any ideas out there what a stripped frame with a complete 1200 engine would weigh?  I need to manhandle my stripped 1200 (void of wheels, body work, etc) around the garage, and then pull the frame off the engine.  Curious how many friends I need to recruit to do this.
 
engine weighs 95 kgs give or take a few kgs depending on what you have removed

no idea what a frame weighs, never checked

 
Get a skateboard sized trolley and ease the frame/engine on to it, easily a one man operation. Then it is easy to move around.
Lay engine on primary drive side and frame lifts off.
With practice it is a one man job but easier with 2 people.
 
Both un-needlessly fuckin' heavy... :D

I remember something around 78kg for the triple engine with carbs and starter removed, memory could be wrong though... Frame weighs in at around 25kg.

Used to remove/replace the engine on my own in my stupid youth.  Couldn't be bothered nowadays, doesn't mean I'm much cleverer though. ::)

I'll be lining up some buddies who have stronger backs & knees than me... plan is to lay the frame on its left side, undo the engine mounts and pull them apart.  This is my first time pulling the engine on the 1200 - appreciate all the tips on how to do it with a minimum of drama.

Cheers,
Andy
 
Just hauled a 1200 motor out on my own and put it back yesterday on my ?10 resto. My tip would be to remove the two tall domed nuts at the back of the crankcases just for a little more clearance, otherwise it's easy.
