IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND
DISASSEMBLY
1. Before removal and disassembly, eliminate
all dirt, mud, dust and foreign material.
2. Use only the proper tools and cleaning
equipment.
Refer to the “SPECIAL TOOLS”.
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.
EAS00021
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.
EAS00022
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

When installing oil seals, lubricate the oil seal
lips with a light coat of lithium-soap-based
grease. Oil bearings liberally when installing, if
appropriate.

Do not spin the bearing with compressed air
because this will damage the bearing sur-
faces.

CIRCLIPS
Before reassembly, check all circlips carefully
and replace damaged or distorted circlips. Al-
ways replace piston pin clips after one use.
When installing a circlip
