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.

NOTICE
Use soft hammer to tap on the case half.
Tap only on reinforced portions of case. Do
not tap on gasket mating surface. Work
slowly 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.

EASB111280CHECKING THE CRANKCASE
1. Wash:
• Crankcase
TIP
• Wash the crankcase in a mild solvent.
• Remove any remaining gasket from the
crankcase mating surface.
2. Check:
• Crankcase
Crack/damage  Replace.
• Oil delivery passages
Obstruction  Blow out with compressed
air.
EASB111281ASSEMBLING 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 pins “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. Bearing cover plate
