650sx broken engine mounts

[Colby]

Is it common for all 4 engine mounts to break? Was I too rough taking it out? I took 1 bolt out and then I was taking the 2nd one out when the whole motor moved and I was confused and realized I could pick it right up. Also I’m selling 650parts let me know if you want something because I probably have it.

It’s not that uncommon. Old motor mounts deteriorate and fall apart with age. I’ve replaced plenty of original mounts that are either separated or well on their way to doing so.

sometimes you find them when you pull the motor. I found 3 out of 4 torn when I pulled my motor out of my freak to get ready to install in new hull.
