Cagiva Mito Engine recommended rebuild parts 

I have got to take an engine out for rebuild , thought id take some photos and upload them .

Does not have to be done in this order but it will give you a rough idea of how easy a job it is .


Fairings have been removed already , and battery is disconnected and removed from bike .

remove carb if its just temporary i let it hang over side of bike after

making sure its dry , save allt he hassle of cables .

  Remove coil wires and HT leads and you can remove from water  

                                                  bottle

Remove PV servo from water bottle and i also remove from cylinder barrel and leave cables all in place .

Start to drain oil from the oil drain plug 

Take coolant lid off it will drain faster

After a while take of the radiator hose connections 

                                                      unclip the radiator brackets

                   undo and remove pipe from under coolant bottle

                                          and top pipe too

                                                    loosen and remove clutch cable

              and on some models the speedo cable connection

                         disconnect the oil pump drive cables

remove the exhaust springs 

and PV assembly 

spring removal 

   remove the back exhaust mount remove all the PV assembly bolts                        including one near the cable wheel

Undo cable going to starter motor

remove thermostat radiator hose 

make sure 

chain and gear linkage are removed and out of the way

Drop the oil if you want to here as its easier than after you have removed engine 

dont forget the alternator , engine wiring connections 

i loosen the 4 upper engine mount bolts 

                      you can slit the upper mount in two via this
                    allen key i sometimes use this to fit the engine

           Main engine / swing arm bolt , this can be a real pain
             ive even broke engines getting this out , id start WD40
            and lubricating this a few weeks before doing this job

so bolts removed , upper mount bolts lose but still holding engine 

engine lift in place 

tap the main engine / swing arm bolt through 

this one was easiest ive ever done .

i then use a spanner to grip bolt and pull and tap 

with hammer at same time 

that is it engine is out
