CRANKCASE AND CRANKSHAFT
REMOVING THE SEGMENT
1. Remove:
• Bolt (segment) "1"
• Segment "2"
Turn the segment counterclockwise 
until it stops and loosen the bolt.
If the segment gets an impact, it 
may be damaged. Take care not to 
give an impact to the segment 
when removing the bolt.
DISASSEMBLING THE 
CRANKCASE
1. Remove:
• Crankcase (right) "1"
Use the flywheel puller "2".
• Make appropriate bolts "3" as 
shown available by yourself and at-
tach the tool with them.
• Fully tighten the tool holding bolts, 
but make sure the tool body is par-
allel with the case. If necessary, 
one screw may be backed out 
slightly to level tool body.
• As pressure is applied, alternately 
tap on the engine mounting boss 
and transmission shafts.
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 one 
end "hangs up", take pressure off 
the push screw, realign, and start 
over. If the cases do not separate, 
check for a remaining case bolt or 
fitting. Do not force.
REMOVING THE CRANKSHAFT
1. Remove:
• Crankshaft "1"
Use the crankcase separating 
tool "2".
Make appropriate bolts "3" as shown 
available by yourself and attach the 
tool with them.
Do not use a hammer to drive out 
the crankshaft.
REMOVING THE CRANKCASE 
BEARING
1. Remove:
•Bearing "1"
• Remove the bearing from the 
crankcase by pressing its inner race 
as shown in "A".
• If the bearing is removed together 
with the crankshaft, remove the 
bearing using a general bearing 
puller "2" as shown in "B".
• Do not use the removed bearing.
CHECKING THE CRANKCASE
1. Inspect:
• Contacting surface "a"
Scratches → Replace.          
• Engine mounting boss "b", crank-
case
Cracks/damage → Replace.          
2. Inspect:
• Bearing "1"
Rotate inner race with a finger.
Rough spot/seizure → R e p l a c e .           
3. Inspect:
• Oil seal "1"
Damage →Replace.          
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 → R e p l a c e .

gap until misfire occurs. (for USA 
and CDN only)
CHECKING THE COUPLERS, 
LEADS AND IGNITION COIL 
CONNECTION
1. Check:
• Couplers and leads connection
Rust/dust/looseness/short-cir-
cuit  → Repair or replace.          CHECKING THE ENGINE STOP 
SWITCH
1. Inspect:
• Engine stop switch conduction
Not conductive while it is pushed →  
Replace.    
Conductive while it is freed → Re-
place.    
Set the tester selection position to " 
Ω × 1".

• Remove the spark plug cap by turn-
ing it counterclockwise and inspect.
• Install the spark plug cap by turning 
it clockwise until it is tight.
CHECKING THE SPARK PLUG 
CAP
1. Inspect:
• Spark plug cap
Loose connection → T i g h t e n .           
Deteriorated/damaged → Re-
place.          
• Spark plug cap resistance
Out of specification → R e p l a c e .            Minimum spark gap:
6.0 mm (0.24 in)
