CRANKCASE AND CRANKSHAFT
DISASSEMBLING THE
CRANKCASE
1. Separate:• Right crankcase
• Left crankcase
Separation steps:
a. Remove the crankcase bolts "1", hose guide "2" and clutch cable
holder "3".
Loosen each bolt 1/4 of a turn at a
time and after all the bolts are loos-
ened, remove them.
b. Remove the right crankcase "4".
• Place the crankcase with its left
side downward and split it by insert-
ing a screwdriver tip into the split-
ting slit "a" in the crankcase.
• Lift the right crankcase horizontally while lightly patting the case split-
ting slit and engine mounting boss
using a soft hammer, and leave the
crankshaft and transmission with
the left crankcase.
Use soft hammer to tap on the
case half. Tap only on reinforced
portions of case. Do not tap on
gasket mating surface. Work slow-
ly and carefully. Make sure the
case halves separate evenly. If the
cases do not separate, check for a
remaining case bolt or fitting. Do
not force.
c. Remove the dowel pins and O-
ring.
REMOVING THE CRANKSHAFT
1. Remove:• Crankshaft "1"Use the crankcase separating
tool "2".
Do not use a hammer to drive out
the crankshaft.
REMOVING THE CRANKCASE
BEARING
1. Remove:• Bearing "1"
• Remove the bearing from the crankcase by pressing its inner
race.
• Do not use the removed bearing.
CHECKING THE TIMING CHAIN
AND TIMING CHAIN GUIDE
1. Inspect: •Timing chain
Cracks/stiff →Replace the timing
chain and camshaft sprocket as a
set.
2. Inspect: • Timing chain guideWear/damage →Replace. CHECKING THE CRANKCASE
1. Inspect:
• Contacting surface "a"Scratches →Replace.
• Engine mounting boss "b", crank- case
Cracks/damage →Replace.
2. Inspect: • BearingRotate inner race with a finger.
Rough spot/seizure →Replace.
3. Inspect: •Oil seal
Damage →Replace.
CHECKING THE CRANKSHAFT
1. Measure: • Runout limit "a"
• Small end free play limit "b"
• Connecting rod big end side clearance "c"
• Crank width "d"
Out of specification →Replace.
Use the dial gauge and a thick-
ness gauge.

CRANKCASE AND CRANKSHAFT
5. Install:• Dowel pin "1"
• O-ring "2"
• Right crankcaseTo left crankcase.
• Apply the lithium soap base grease on the O-ring.
• Fit the right crankcase onto the left
crankcase. Tap lightly on the case
with soft hammer.
• When installing the crankcase, the
connecting rod should be posi-
tioned at TDC (top dead center).
6. Tighten:• Hose guide "1"
• Clutch cable holder "2"
• Bolt (crankcase) "3"
Tighten the crankcase tightening
bolts in stage, using a crisscross pat-
tern.
7. Install:• Oil delivery pipe 2 "1"
• O-ring "2"
• Bolt (oil delivery pipe 2) "3"
Apply the lithium soap base grease
on the Orings.
8. Install:
• Timing chain "1"
• Timing chain guide (intake side) "2"
• Bolt (timing chain guide) "3"
9. Remove: •Sealant
Forced out on the cylinder mating
surface.
10. Apply:
• Engine oilTo the crank pin, bearing and oil
delivery hole.
11. Check: • Crankshaft and transmission op-eration.
Unsmooth operation →Repair.
Bolt (crankcase):
12 Nm (1.2 m•kg, 8.7

IGNITION SYSTEM
SPARK GAP TEST
1. Disconnect the ignition coil from spark plug.
2. Remove the ignition coil cap.
3. Connect the dynamic spark tester
"1" (ignition checker "2") as
shown.
• Ignition coil "3"
• Spark plug "4"
A. For USA and CDN
B. Except for USA and CDN
4. Kick the kickstarter crank.
5. Check the ignition spark gap.
6. Start engine, and increase spark gap until misfire occurs. (for USA
and CDN only)
CHECKING THE COUPLERS,
LEADS AND IGNITION COIL
CONNECTION
1. Check: • Couplers and leads connection
Rust/dust/looseness/short-circuit
→ Repair or replace.
• Ignition coil and spark plug as
they are fitted
Push in the ignition coil until it
closely contacts the spark plug
hole in the cylinder head cover. CHECKING THE ENGINE STOP
SWITCH
1. Inspect:
• Engine stop switch conduction
Not conductive while it is pushed →
Replace.
Conductive while it is freed →Re-
place.
Set the tester selection position to " Ω
× 1".
2. Inspect:
• Rubber part "a"Tears/damage → Replace.
CHECKING THE MAIN SWITCH
1. Inspect: • Main switch conduction
Not conductive while the main switch
is moved to "ON" →Replace.
Conductive while the main switch is
moved to "OFF" →Replace.
Set the tester selection position to
"Ω×1".
2. Inspect:
• Main switch indicator lightUse 12 V battery.
Indicator light does not come on →
Replace.
3. Inspect:
• Rubber part "a"Tears/damage →Replace.
CHECKING THE IGNITION COIL
1. Remove the ignition coil cap.
2. Inspect: • Primary coil resistanceOut of specification →Replace.
Minimum spark gap:
6.0 mm (0.24 in)

LIGHTING SYSTEM
CHECKING THE TAILLIGHT
(LEDs)
1. Disconnect the taillight coupler.
2. Connect two jumper leads "1" from the battery terminals to the
respective coupler terminal as
shown.
3. Check: • LED (for proper operation)Does not light →Replace the tail-
light assembly.
• A wire that is used as a jumper lead must have at least the same
capacity of the battery lead, oth-
erwise the jumper lead may burn.
• This check is likely to produce sparks, therefore, make sure no
flammable gas or fluid is in the
vicinity.
CHECKING THE AC MAGNETO
1. Inspect:
• Lighting coil resistanceOut of specification →Replace. CHECKING THE RECTIFIER/
REGULATOR
1. Connect the battery leads.
2. Start the engine.
3. Turn on the headlight and taillight
by turning on the light switch.
4. Inspect:
• Out-put voltageOut of specification →Replace
