Removal of a 1997 Vmax 600XT Starter Motor

[Vmax6001997]

I'm having some difficulties removing the starter motor on my VMAX 600XT 1997 , would anyone have any links to guide or advice on how to remove it. I can't seem to locate any.

I've taken out 2 Bolts from the Starter but do not know how to or where the 3rd bolt is that is keeping it in.

you might need to rock the motor ahead for it clear for removal of the starter. brother had to rock the engine ahead by pulling the rear mount to get the starter into his 02 viper when he installed the kit. cannot remember if he pulled the carbs or not.

The SX has very little working room. There are three bolts. Unfortunately you have to take motor mounts out on this one. The vipers you can sneak through primary clutch side hole once removed.
