7.6.2 Grooved ball
bearing / crankcase
The two halves of the crankcase
can be replaced individually if they
are defective.
New crankcases are delivered with
the relevant components pre-
assembled – see spare parts list.
Those parts which are not supplied
with the new crankcase must be
removed from the old crankcase,
examined and replaced if
necessary.
When fitting a new crankcase, the
machine's serial number must be
stamped on the crankcase with
2.5 mm figure stamps.
If the original crankcase is reused,
the oil seals and grooved ball
bearings must be replaced, all
gasket residues removed and the
mating surfaces cleaned
thoroughly. The mating surfaces
must be absolutely clean to
guarantee a perfect seal.
Examine both halves of the
crankcase for cracks and check all
mating surfaces for signs of
damage.
– Refer also to troubleshooting,
b 4.6.
– Remove the crankshaft,
b 7.6.1.
– Wear protective gloves – risk of
burns.
Ignition-side half of the

seat to approx. 150 °C (300 °F).
The bearing (1) drops out of its own
accord when this temperature is
reached.
