Crankpin Bearing - Honda Transalp XL700V Manual

CRANKSHAFT INSTALLATION
Apply molybdenum disulfide oil solution to the
crankshaft main journals and install the crankshaft
into the left crankcase.
Assemble the crankcase (page 12-29).

CRANKPIN BEARING

Do not interchange the bearing inserts. They must
be installed in their original locations or the correct
bearing oil clearance may not be obtained, resulting
in engine damage.
BEARING INSPECTION
Remove the connecting rod (page 12-9).
Check the bearing inserts for unusual wear, damage
or peeling and replace them if necessary.
Select the replacement bearing (page 12-12).
OIL CLEARANCE INSPECTION
Clean off any oil from the bearing inserts and crank-
pins.
Put a strip of plastigauge lengthwise on each
crankpin avoiding the oil hole.
Carefully install the connecting rods and bearing
caps on the correct crankpins.
