CRANKSHAFT/PISTON/CYLINDER
SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
This motorcycle provides cracking connecting rods. Be sure to install each part in its original position, as noted during removal. Do
not reuse the improperly installed connecting rod and bearing cap, because their mating surfaces are damaged.
The crankcase must be separated to service the following:
Crankshaft (page 15-5)
Piston/cylinder (page 15-14)
Mark and store the connecting rods, bearing caps and bearing inserts to be sure of their correct locations for reassembly.
The crankpin and main journal bearing inserts are select fit and are identified by color codes. Select replacement bearings from
the code tables. After selecting new bearings, recheck the oil clearance with a plastigauge. Incorrect oil clearance can cause
major engine damage.
Clean the oil passages in the upper crankcase with compressed air before installing the pistons.
