Engine
Before opening the engine crankcase, it is advis-
able to check axial clearance of the crankshaft. To
do this, use a plate and a support with appropriate
tool dial gauge.
Higher clearances are signs of wear on the sup-
porting surfaces of the crankshaft casing.
Standard clearance: 0.15 ÷ 0.40 mm
Remove the 11 coupling screws to the crankcase.
- Separate the crankcase while keeping the crank-
shaft in one of the two halves of the crankcase.
Remove the crankshaft.
CAUTION
KEEP THE CRANKSHAFT IN ONE OF THE TWO HALVES
OF THE CRANKCASE WHEN SEPARATING IT. IF YOU FAIL
TO DO THIS, THE CRANKSHAFT MIGHT ACCIDENTALLY
FALL.
- Remove the coupling gasket of the crankcase
halves.
- Remove the two screws and the internal cover
shown in the diagram.
CAUTION
WHILE OPENING THE CRANKCASES AND REMOVING
THE DRIVING SHAFT, CHECK THAT THE THREADED
