1. Separate:
• Right crankcase
• Left crankcase
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Remove the crankcase bolts.
TIP
Loosen each bolt 1/4 of a turn at a time and af-
ter all the bolts are loosened, remove them.
b. Remove the right crankcase “1”.
TIP
• Place the crankcase with its left side down-
ward and split it by inserting a screwdriver tip
into the splitting slit “a” in the crankcase.
• Lift the right crankcase horizontally while light-
ly patting the crankcase splitting slit and the
engine mounting boss using a soft hammer,
and leave the crankshaft and the transmission
with the left crankcase.
