Inspection - Triumph Rocket III Classic Service Manual

Balancer
Inspection
1. Inspect all gears for chipped or missing teeth and for
overheating (blue discolouration>.
2. Inspect all bearings for signs of overheating (blue
discolouration>, seizure and any other damage.
Check that all bearings rotate smoothly and without
tight spots.
Assembly/Installation
Note:
• Balancer shafts and crankshafts are graded. If
the balancer shaft is replaced, it must be
grade-matched with the crankshaft. For
identification, both are marked adjacent to the
alignment dots (see note below) either 'N or
'B'. Always match an 'N grade crankshaft with
an
'/J{
grade balancer shaft and vice-versa.
Note:
• A 'B' grade component does not indicate
inferior quality to an
'pt
grade component.
Note:
•
To ensure a correct relationship, the balancer
must be installed in a specific orientation
relative to the crankshaft. There are dot marks,
one on the balancer drive gear (on the
crankshaft) and one on the balancer driven
gear, which must be in alignment when the
balancer shaft is fitted.

3. Dot marks
Note:
•
A further alignment check can be made if
required. When number one cylinder in the
engine is on top-dead-centre <TOe), slots on
the end of the balancer will align with the split
line of the crankcase. This allows a balancer
installation check on an installed engine by
removing only the clutch cover.
