tranny to do a clutch R&R rather than just the tranny?

No you don't have to remove the engine/trans assemby. The trans will
come out without the engine. Start tearing the bike down at the rear.
I remove the rr wheel/ swingarm together. The rr brake linkage has to
come apart before it can come over the frame. Put that aside, remove
anything eles that will get in your way. I noticed on Eldo's that the
engine may have to be pivoted upward to clear the frame.
Before any teardown I would try the adjuster on the clutch arm at the
back of the trans.

Is it tough to remove the engine??? Seems like the rear wheel/swingarm
deal involves a fair bit of effort. Just askin' I have a feelin that
this is in my future..
