    Howdy.
    A quick question.
    On a 1983 Suzuki GSX 250, does the motor have to be removed from the frame to get the head off?
    Thanks,
    Marcus.

    Thanks very much.
    Work will start as of tomorrow.

    A pic of the beast. It's in great condition but it needs a head gasket.

    Good to know you are going to restore it rather than f**k it up by making a 'Bobber' or some such crap from a good motorcycle. Please keep up the photos as your work progresses.
