Triumph Rocket III Service Manual

Crankshaft
Crankcases
The following procedures often require lifting of
heavy components. To avoid injury, always lift heavy
components
with a hoist or block and tackle and
never attempt to manually lift items that are too
heavy. Injury may result from failure to use the
correct lifting equipment.
The upper
and lower crankcases are machined as a
matched
set and must never be assembled to non-
matching halves. Doing so will cause seizure of the
engine.
Note:
• The crankcase halves may be separated
with the cylinder head fitted.
