CHECKING INDIVIDUAL PARTS

Checking the crankshaft
Radial clearance of the connecting rod :
· Place the crankshaft on V-blocks and place a dial gauge [A] against the connecting rod. · Push [B] the connecting rod to the gauge and then in the opposite direction. The difference between those two measurements is the radial clearance. Radial clearance of the connecting rod :
Standard : 0.008 mm ­ 0.012 mm Tolerated limit :0.05mm
If the radial clearance exceeds the limit, the crankshaft must bereplaced.
Lateral clearance of the connecting rod :
· Measure lateral clearance of the connecting rod [A].
Lateralclearanceoftheconnectingrod : Standard : 0.6 mm – 0.85mm Tolerated limit : 1.1 mm
If the radial clearance exceeds the tolerated limit, replace the crankshaft.
Checking the runout :
· Place the crankshaft on alignment devices or Vblocks, and place a gauge as shown in the image.
· Then slowly turn the crankshaft. The maximum difference between the measurements corresponds with the offset of the crankshaft.
Runout : Standard : 0.02 mm maxi Tolerated limit : 0.08 mm
If the offset is not correct, replace the crankshaft and align it so to be within tolerated limits.
23

CHECKING INDIVIDUAL PARTS

CHECKING INDIVIDUAL PARTS
Checking the top-engine
Inspection of cylinder wear :
Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder when the cylinder is cold · Inspect the inside part of the cylinder for scratches or any other sign of abnormal wear. If the cylinder is damaged or severely worn, replace it. · Since the cylinder does not wear out evenly in every direction, measure it from one side to the other and from bottom to top as shown. If one measure of the internal diameter of the cylinder exceeds the service limit, replace the cylinder.
(A)=8 mm (B)=30 mm
Standard 450 SEF : Cylinder diameter (A) = 94.99±0.012 mm Cylinder diameter (B) = 94.982~94.995 mm Conicity limit 0.05 mm Ovalization 0.05 mm
Standard 500 SEF : Cylinder diameter (A) = 97.990±00.8mm Cylinder diameter (B) = 97.99~98.005 mm Conicity limit 0.05 mm Ovalization 0.05 mm
Piston/cylinder clearance
In order to define the clearance as accurately as possible, measure the diameter of the piston and the cylinder separately, and then calculate the difference between these two values. Measure the diameter of the piston according to the « Piston Wear » procedure.
Piston/cylinder clearance : Standard 0.034­0.056mm Limit 0.11 mm
25

CHECKING INDIVIDUAL PARTS

Piston wear :
· With the help of a micrometer, measure the outside diameter [A] of piston 15 mm [B] above the bottom of the piston and at a right angle in relation to the pistonpin. If the outside diameter of a piston is below the limit, replace it Piston 450 SEF= 94.93 – 94.95 Piston 500 SEF= 97.93-97.95

Ring/ring groove clearance :

· Check the base of the ring in order to verify

that the grooves do not show uneven wear.

· Once the rings are properly set in their

grooves, perform several measurements with a

thickness gauge to determine the ring/ring

groove clearance.

Top ring :

0.020-0.065 mm

Limit 0.13 mm

Oil scraper ring : 0.020-0.055 mm

Limit 0.13 mm

End gap :
Top ring : 0.2-0.3 mm Limit 0.5 mm

Inspection for wear of the connecting rod, piston pin, and piston :
· Visually control the installed securing clip. If it seems weakened or distorted, replace it. If the groove of the pinhole is excessively worn, replace the piston.
· Measure the diameter of the piston pin by means of a micrometer. If wherever along the line, the diameter of the piston pin happens to be inferior to the limit, replace the shaft.
· Measure the diameter of the two piston pinholes in the piston and the inner diameter of the connecting rod bushing. If one of the diameters of the holes measured on the piston is incorrect, change the piston.
If the diameter of the connecting rod bushing is incorrect, replace the connecting rod. Diameter of the piston pin : 18.995-19.000 mm Diameter of the piston pin hole : 19.004-19.009 mm Inner diameter of the connecting rod bushing : 20.007-20.013 mm

CHECKING INDIVIDUAL PARTS
Cams wear :
· Measure the height [A] of each cam by means of a micrometer. If the cams are worn beyond the limit, replace the camshaft. Cam height limit 450 Exhaust : 37.20 mm Admission : 37.62 mm
Wear of the camshaft and camshaft bearings:
· Measure all clearances between the camshaft trunnion and the camshaft bearings by means of a plastic gauge [A]. Tighten the camshaft housing screws after coating their body and threading with engine oil. Torque setting Camshaft housing screws : 18 Nm. If any clearance is above the limit, measure the diameter of each camshaft trunnion by means of a micrometer. If the diameter of the camshaft pin is below the limit, replace the camshaft and measure the clearance again.
Diameter of the standard camshaft trunnion Standard : 23.980 ­ 23.993 mm Limit :23.960mm If the clearance remains outside the service limit, replace the cylinder head.
Camshaft offset :

CHECKING INDIVIDUAL PARTS
Checking the cylinder head
Cylinder head inspection for warping :
· Place a ground ruler [A] on the lower surface of the cylinder head at different positions, and measure the warping by inserting a thickness gauge between the straightedge and the gauge head. If the warping exceeds the tolerated limit, repair the adjusting surface. Replace the cylinder head if the adjusting surface is seriously damaged. Warping of the cylinder head : Limit = 0.05 mm
Valve/guide clearance :

· The main values of the system appear :

Details :
· Stepper Position : valeur d’ouverture de la valve d’air (stepper)-> 35 < 50 < 75. Too weak value : for example , valve leak/engine air intake. Too high value : dirty injection body.
Information : correct value of the air valve: motor at 80 °C after being operated for 15 m and idle for 2 m.
· Throttle position : engine stopped value : 0%. Maximum opening : 100%. If the value is not equal to 0% when the engine is off, it means that adaptation has not been made: Reboot the system several times (Switch off ignition. Wait until the relay slap calculator makes a clacking sound. Switch the motorcycle back on). The step equals 0.5%.
· State Stop button: state of the emergency stop button. 0: disabled, 1: enabled.
