ASSEMBLING THE CRANKCASE
1. Install:
• Bearing cover plate
TIP
• Install the bearing by pressing its outer race
parallel.
• To prevent the bearing cover plate screw
(crankshaft) “1” from becoming loose, crimp
the screw head periphery “a” into the concave
“b” using a punch etc. In so doing, take care
not to damage the screwdriver receiving hole
in the screw.
2. Apply:
• Sealant
(to the crankcase mating surface)
3. Install:
• Dowel pin “1”
• Crankcase “2”
(to the left crankcase)
TIP
• Apply the lithium-soap-based grease on the
O-ring.
• Fit the right crankcase onto the left crankcase.
Tap lightly on the case with soft hammer.
• When installing the crankcase, the connecting
rod should be positioned at top dead center
(TDC).
• Tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern in two
(2) stages, with 1/4 turn each.
