Leave the sump on , it's a handy flat ish surface .
I take the rocker cover off and the cams out .
Tape up your front frame tubes as your exhaust studs WILL scrape .
Watch the lower rear engine mount scratching right hand side of cradle on the way out and in .

I remove the camcover. If im pulling the engine apart i also remove the top camchain guide to give a bit more room though you dont need to.

Lay the bike down on a car tire, remove engine mount bolts then lift frame up from the engine. Putting the engine in is revers of the above, easier to manipulate / move frame to avoid scratches than grunting with a bloody motor. ( usually have wheels, forks and swingarm removed too as per full rebuild.
