IMPORTANT INFORMATION

PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND
DISASSEMBLY
1. Before removal and disassembly, remove all
dirt, mud, dust and foreign material.
2. Use only the proper tools and cleaning
equipment.
Refer to "SPECIAL TOOLS" on page 1-5.
3. When disassembling, always keep mated
parts together. This includes gears, cylin-
ders, pistons and other parts that have been
"mated" through normal wear. Mated parts
must always be reused or replaced as an as-
sembly.
4. During disassembly, clean all of the parts
and place them in trays in the order of disas-
sembly. This will speed up assembly and al-
low for the correct installation of all parts.
5. Keep all parts away from any source of fire.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

Use only genuine Yamaha parts for all replace-
ments. Use oil and grease recommended by
Yamaha for all lubrication jobs. Other brands
may be similar in function and appearance, but
inferior in quality.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION

GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS

1. When overhauling the engine, replace all
gaskets, seals and O-rings. All gasket sur-
faces, oil seal lips and O-rings must be
cleaned.
2. During reassembly, properly oil all mating
parts and bearings and lubricate the oil seal
lips with grease.
LOCK WASHERS/PLATES AND COTTER
PINS
After removal, replace all lock washers/plates
"1" and cotter pins. After the bolt or nut has been
tightened to specification, bend the lock tabs
along a flat of the bolt or nut.

BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS

Install bearings and oil seals so that the manu-
facturer's marks or numbers are visible. When
installing oil seals "1", lubricate the oil seal lips
with a light coat of lithium-soap-based grease.
Oil bearings liberally when installing, if appropri-
ate.
