Here is another tip.

When removing the engine from the frame, or replacing it, it helps a lot to have an assistant. One person can jack the engine to the proper height and help stabilize the engine on the jack. The other person can twist/tilt the engine to the proper orientation for removal/installation of the swingarm bolt.

If you make all the preparations beforehand, you will only need your assistant's help for about 15 minutes.
