Before assembling, check that the clearance between the engine crankcase bushing
and the crankshaft is within the predetermined limits.
Characteristic
Crankshaft-bushing maximum clearance admitted:
0.08 mm
- The standard bushing diameter after driving is variable on the basis of a coupling
selection.
- The crankcase bushing seats are classified into 3 categories while the crankshaft
ones, into 2 categories.
- Bushings are subdivided into 4 categories according to their thickness (see the table).
Coupling chart
The following kinds of bushings indicated in the table must be used according to the
kind of coupling between the crankshaft and the crankcase.
KEY
X = Crankshaft category
Y = Crankcase half-shell category
A = Red
B = Blue
C = Yellow
D = Green
In case of breakdown, crankcases are together with bushings and are classified
according to the centre to centre distance of the countershaft. Find below the
possible couplings.
- Complete FC1 type crankcase equipped with bushings for housing a category 1
crankshaft and a countershaft with centre to centre distance A.
- Complete FC2 type crankcase equipped with bushings for housing a category 2
crankshaft and a countershaft with centre to centre distance A.
- Complete FC3 type crankcase equipped with bushings for housing a category 1
crankshaft and a countershaft with centre to centre distance B.
- Complete FC4 type crankcase equipped with bushings for housing a category 2
crankshaft and a countershaft with centre to centre distance B.
N.B.
THE CRANKSHAFT CATEGORY IS STAMPED ON THE COUNTERWEIGHT SHOULDER.
A spare crankcase cannot be combined with a driving shaft with mixed categories.
Spare shafts have half-shafts of the same category.
N.B.
TO REPLACE THE HALF-SHAFTS, REMOVE THE COUNTERSHAFT BEARINGS AS
DESCRIBED ABOVE. REMOVE THE COMPLETE DRIVEN PULLEY AND THE ANTI-FLAPPING
ROLLER FROM THE TRANSMISSION SIDE HALF-CRANKCASE, AS DESCRIBED IN
CHAPTER "AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION", AND THE HUB COVER WITH THE RELEVANT
GEARS AND BEARINGS AS DESCRIBED IN CHAPTER "FINAL REDUCTION".
