    3.12.3 PISTON CYLINDER COU- PLING PLAY The following table sets out the coupling play be- tween cylinder and piston. In order to calculate the coupling play between cylinder and piston, a subtraction must be carried out between the diameter of the cylinder and that of the piston. Maximum Minimum Displace-...
  • Page 94 Remove screw 6 that keeps the left side bearings and the booster in their housing. Apply one M5 screw on control unit side and pull outwards. Repeat the operation on the opposite side using one M6 screw. After extracting the boosters and relevant pin, ex- tract the valve pin 7 by pushing it with a metal cylinder A and then extract valve 8.

  • Page 95: 3.12.5 Exhaust Valve

    Check the bearings 9 supporting the booster are efficient, without seizing during operation or ex- cessive play, once the assembly has been cleaned and descaled. Otherwise replace. Check pins 10, 11 and their seats are not abnor- mally worn. Otherwise replace the worn parts. Descale all passages involving the exhaust.
  • Page 96 Apply the left side booster unit complete with pin and bearings in its seat: pin 3 must be inserted in the specific slot in the valve. Apply the right side booster unit in its seat. Apply screws 4 and 5 complete with washer after applying medium-resistance threadlocker and tighten at the specified torque.

  • Page 97: Piston, Pin Bolt, Elastic Bands And Cylinder Assembly

    Apply spacer 5 to the control side. Then apply all other parts. Screw 6 must be covered with medium strength threadlocker and fastened to the indicated torque. Try moving the assembly and check the entire mechanism slides perfectly, once assembly is completed.
  • Page 98 Insert the second circlip in the specific seat of the piston, placing the open part either upwards or downwards. Remove the previously inserted cloth. Abundantly oil the skirt of the piston with engine oil and insert the elastic bands, which edges must face the area with the stop pin.

  • Page 99: Check Of Crankcase/Cylinder Gasket Thickness

    3.12.7 CHECK CRANKCASE/ CYLINDER GASKET THICK- NESS The thickness of the gasket between the cylinder and crankcase must be checked every time the following are replaced: ∙ Cylinder; ∙ Piston; ∙ Crankshaft; ∙ Connecting rod; ∙ Crankcase. The check is necessary as said thickness affects engine performance.

  • Page 100: 3.12.8 Head Application

    Measure the play with a gauge if the piston push- es the plate upwards, causing contact to be lost between plate and cylinder: if the play is greater than 0.05 mm, the thickness of the cylinder/cas- ing gasket must be increased and the check must be done again.

    3.13 CHECK OF INTAKE UNIT AND ASSEMBLY Check the manifold 1 is intact and without cracks. Otherwise replace it. Check that the petals 2 of the reed valve 3 are intact and not deformed. If so, replace them. Remove the petals by pressing the central body as shown in the picture and remove the outer petals.
  • Page 106 Remove the two central wedges and remove the petals. Assemble the multiflap by following the just de- scribed procedure, in reverse order. Disassembly of central wedges. The extraction of only one is shown in figure. For assembly of the entire intake system, apply the manifold to the reed valve, the gasket 4, the spacer 5 and another gasket.
