Left-Side Crankcase - Yamaha XZ550RJ 1982 Service Manual

Left-side crankcase

1. Press the crankshaft bearing, balancer shaft
bearing, and transmission bearing into the
left side crankcase. Liberally oil the bear-
ings before installation. The bearing i.d.
marks should face the inside of the crank-
case. Push the outer, not the inner race.
2. Install the drive axle assembly with the
proper shims (refer to page 3-56). Be sure
that the bearing is properly seated against
the crankcase.
CAUTION:
The drive axle bearing is a slip-fit. If the bearing
cocks during installation, remove the drive axle
assembly and start again. The bearing must go
in smoothly.
