CRANKSHAFT THRUST CLEARANCE
• Face the oil groove
A of the crankshaft shim
1 toward the
crank web.
• Install the crankshaft to the crankcase. (3-62)
• Install the starter clutch. (3-64)
• Measure the gap between the thrust washer and crankcase.
Crankshaft thrust clearance
Standard: 0.10 – 0.15 mm (0.004 – 0.006 in)
• If the thrust clearance is out of the standard range, replace
the shim so that the standard value is obtained.
• To replace the shim, remove the thrust shim and measure the
thickness. Select shims from the table below so that the stan-
dard value can be obtained.
• Inspect the crankshaft thrust clearance again.
Unit: mm (in)
Match the hole center of the special tool correctly.
