Coupling semi bearings-connecting rod pin
If no substitutions have been made it is sufficient to
verify the connecting rod measurement and its pins
and refer to the chart included, choose the semi bear-
ings according to the colour.
The measurement has to be carried out on the princi-
pal axle of the stem, after having tightened at 35 N·m.
If substitution of one or more parts is necessary, it is
sufficient to follow the indications of the letter indicat-
ing the class that the connecting rod and bushing
belong to, indicated on them.
Assembling semi bearings
Insert the semi bearings onto the head of the connect-
ing rod.
• Degrease the screws and the connecting rod.
• Apply oil only to the internal thread.
• Tighten, ensuring that the screw is elongated by 0.20
to 0.22 mm with a minimum torque of 50 Nom.
• Only use worked screws with measuring area sup-
plied as spares.
Always use new screws, even with the used con-
necting rod.
Ensure that the comparator feelers only come into
contact with the worked surfaces.
