no mods.. should lift right up in there..

make uber sure all your lock/alignment pins are wound out the wholeway. there will be one at the top motor mount on both the clutch and throttle sides, and one down by the swingarm.

shouldn't have to spin it or anything.. if you can get the lower rear bolt in, you should be able to swing the whole shebang up and into the frame then..

good luck!

Never tried that yet. But since rides only change every couple of yrs, it should be a breeze to swap the engine and components on the 01.
