Transmission, Starter clutch and Seals

Inspect each shift fork signs of galling on gear contact surfaces. Check for bending. Make sure each fork slides freely on its guide bar.

2.    Roll the guide bar across a surface place. If the bar is bent, replace.

3.    Check the shift cam grooves for signs of wear or damage. If any profile has excessive wear and/or damage, replace cam.

4.    Check the cam followers on each shift fork for wear. Check the ends that ride in the grooves in the shift cam. If they are worn or damaged, replace the shift forks.

5.    Check shift cam dowel pins and side plate for looseness, damage or wear. Replace as required.

6.    Check the shift cam stopper plate and circlip and stopper for wear. Replace as required.

7.    Check the transmission shafts using a centering device and dial gauge. If any shaft is bent beyond specified limit, replace shaft.

Maximum run-out: 0.08 mm (0.0031 in!

8.    Carefully inspect each gear. Look for signs of obvious heat damage (blue discoloration). Check the gear teeth for signs of pitting, galling or other extreme wear. Replace as required.

9.    Check to see that each gear moves freely on its shaft.

10.    Check to see that all washers and clips are properly installed and undamaged, Replace bent or loose clips and bent washers.

11.    Check to see that each gear properly engages its counterpart on the shaft. Check the mating dogs for rounded edges, cracks, or missing portions. Replace as required.

M. Starter drivers

Electric starter clutch and gears

a. Check the surface of the idle gear for pitting or other damage. If severe, replace the gear.

b. Check the spring caps and the springs for deformation or damage. If severe, replace as necessary.

c. Check the starter clutch bolts (alien screw) for looseness. If loose, remove the bolts and replace with new bolts.

Apply a thread locking compound such as "LOCTITE" to threads and tighten to specified torque. Stake over the end of the bolts.

Starter clutch bolt torque: 2.5m-kg (18.0 ft-lb)

d.  Check the "HY-VO" chain for damage and wear, replace if damaged.

e.   Check the "HY-VO" chain guide for damage, replace if damaged.

Crankcase and strainer cover

1.    Check crankcase for cracks or other damage.

2.    Clean all oil passages and blow out with compressed air.

3.    Strainer cover: Apply a thread locking compound such as "LOCTITE" to strainer cover bolts during reassembly.

Bearing and oil seals

1. After cleaning and lubricating bearings, rorate inner race with a finger. If rough spots are felt, replace the bearing.

NOTE:
Bearings are most easily removed or installed if the housings are first heated to approximately 95° - 125°C (200°- 250°F). Bring the case up to proper temperature slowly. Use an oven to avoid distortion.

2. Check oil seal lips for damage and wear. Replace as required.
