not hard - depends on the bike - but my trials biek is 250 and it only has two main mounting bolts holding the engine to the frame
infact my engiens off right now - just tidying it up inside and out ready for an even in a few weeks

shouldnt be too hard to get the engine out - just whip all of the plastics, including seat etc off first - put them safe with all nuts and bolts
remove fuel tank
then go about the engine

thats pretty easy as they are very straight forward and simple but invest in a haynes manual if u havent already got 1 cos they arevery handy with small bolts u never seem to find!!
