DISASSEMBLING THE
CRANKCASE
1. Separate:• Right crankcase
• Left crankcase
Separation steps:
a. Remove the crankcase bolts "1", hose guide "2" and clutch cable
holder "3".
Loosen each bolt 1/4 of a turn at a
time and after all the bolts are loos-
ened, remove them.
b. Remove the right crankcase "4".
• Place the crankcase with its left half
downward and split the right half
apart while lifting it horizontally by
lightly tapping the projection "a" on
it using a soft hammer.
• When splitting it, leave the crank-
shaft and transmission with the left
half.
Use soft hammer to tap on the
case half. Tap only on reinforced
portions of case. Do not tap on
gasket mating surface. Work slow-
ly and carefully. Make sure the
case halves separate evenly. If the
cases do not separate, check for a
remaining case bolt or fitting. Do
not force.
c. Remove the dowel pins and O- ring.
REMOVING THE CRANKSHAFT
1. Remove:• Crankshaft "1"Use the crankcase separating
tool "2".
Do not use a hammer to drive out
the crankshaft.

CHECKING THE CRANKSHAFT
1. Measure: • Runout limit "a"
• Small end free play limit "b"
• Connecting rod big end side clearance "c"
• Crank width "d" Out of specification →Replace.
Use the dial gauge and a thick-
ness gauge.
