REASSEMBLING THE ENGINE
When reassembling the engine, replace all seals
and gaskets. All parts of the engine should be
thoroughly cleaned and lightly oiled. All gaskets
should be given a light coat of grease to insure
better fit and seal.
With the crankshaft bearings fitting tool, press the
crankshaft ball bearings into both crankcase halves
(fig 53)
Insert the crankshaft into the LH half of the
crankcase using the splitter. Through the splitter,
screw the device on the crankshaft. With an 11mm
and a 24mm wrench, place the crankshaft in the
crankcase (fit 54)
Place the mainshaft and a washer on the
mainshaft needle bearing. Insert the fork between
the two halves of the crankshaft (fig 55)
Join the right crankcase with the left one, acting as
follows: (1) Press the two crankcases by hand and
then lightly tap them together with a mallet
(2) Insert the 6 screws in the inner holes and 2 in
the outer holes. Slowly tighten the screws (fig 56)
With the crankshaft bearings fitting tool, insert
both crankshaft seal rings.
WARNING: The LH carter seal ring is facing
towards the connecting rod, while the RH side is
opposite.
