Yes, engine has to come out of the frame to get the cylinder off. It's really easy though. Tip: Put the bike on the center stand, and put a book or a block of wood under the rear tire. Now when you remove the swingarm bolt, nothing will move. In this way, you don't have to remove the rear wheel and swingarm first. Saves some time. Also get the bolt-on downtubes that run under the engine off before you unbolt anything else. I put a jack under the engine and balanced it as I took the last bolt out. Then I just picked it up and put it on my workbench. It's not very heavy.

Charles.
