DRIVE SIDE
PRIMARY DRIVE (DISMANTLING)
Drain the engine oil by removing the front drain plug only. (Alternatively, lean the machine over about 20° to the right).
Remove the footrest socket screw (8mm Allen key) and the gear operating arm from the cross-over shaft (5mm Allen key), allowing the pedal and its mechanism to hang down. Refit the screw and washer to the gear arm to avoid confusing it with the cover screws (which are longer and have no washers). |
|
Detach all three alternator wires from their connections. It is not necessary to remove the alternator cover, filler cap or clutch adjustment cover. Release the thirteen socket screws around the drive cover, (5mm Allen key).
Although the engine unit is shown without barrels and heads, and dismantled from the frame, all work in this cover can be carried out on a complete machine. |
 |
| Even when the engine oil is drained a small quantity of oil may drain from the cover as it is released. Take care that the thrust washer on the front starter chain spindle is not lost when the cover is removed. |
 |
| The clutch assembly can be dismantled without disturbing the starter drive. Remove the six socket screws (4mm Allen key) holding the clutch springs in place, noting as each screw is released that the spring is under light pressure. |
