Engine, clutch and transmission 2*11

 

3  Before  commencing  work,  read  through  the 
appropriate  section  so  that  some  idea  of  the 
necessary  procedure  can  be  gained.  When 
removing  components  it  should  be  noted  that 
great  force  is  seldom  required,  unless  specified. 
In  many  cases,  a  component's  reluctance  to  be 
removed is indicative of an incorrect approach or 
removal  method  -  if  in  any  doubt,  re-check  with 
the text. 
4  An  engine  support  stand  made  from  short 
lengths of 2 x 4 inch wood bolted together into  a 
rectangle  will  help  support  the  engine 

(see 

illustration). 

The  perimeter  of  the  mount  should 

be  just  big  enough  to  accommodate  the  sump 
within it so that the engine rests on its crankcase. 
5  When  disassembling  the engine,  keep  'mated' 
parts  together  (including  gears,  cylinders, 
pistons,  connecting  rods,  valves,  etc.  that  have 
been  in  contact  with  each  other  during  engine 
operation).  These  'mated'  parts  must  be  reused 
or renewed as an assembly. 
6  A 

complete 

engine/transmission 

disassembly  should  be  done  in  the  following 
general  order  with  reference  to  the  appropriate 
Sections of this Chapter. 

Remove the valve cover

 

Remove the camshafts

 

Remove the cylinder head

 

Remove the cylinder block

 

Remove the pistons

 

Remove the clutch

 

Remove the alternator/pick-up coil

pumps Remove the oil sump Separate 
the crankcase halves Remove the 
crankshaft Remove the transmission

forks Remove the balancer shafts

 

Reassembly

 

7 Reassembly is accomplished by reversing the 
general disassembly sequence.

removal and installation 

|§

 

Note: 

The valve covers can be removed with the 

engine  in  the  frame.  If  the  engine  has  been 
removed, ignore the steps which do not apply.

 

Removal

 

1  Remove  the  fuel  tank,  the  air  filter  housing 
and  the  carburettors  (see  Chapter  4).  Drain  the 
coolant (see Chapter 1). 
2  On  TDM  and  TRX  models,  remove  the 
thermostat  housing  (see  Chapter  3).  When 
removing  the  housing,  remove  it  along  with  the 
pipe  that  bolts  onto  the  valve  cover,  rather  than 
separating  the  hose  from  the  pipe.  The  pipe  is 
secured  by  a  bolt  -  make  sure  the  pipe  O-ring 
does not fall into the engine when easing out the 
pipe 

(see  illustration). 

Discard  the  O-ring  as  a 

new one must be used. 
3  On XTZ models, unscrew the bolt securing the 
coolant pipe to the valve cover and ease the pipe 
out, making sure the O-ring does not 

fall into 

the 

engine 

(see  illustration  7.2). 

Discard  the  O-ring 

as a new one must be used. 
4  If  required,  release  the  clamp  securing  the 
breather hose to the valve cover and detach the 
hose 

(see illustration).

 

 

7.2 Unscrew the bolt (arrowed) and detach the 

pipe from the cover

 

5 

Pull  the  spark  plug  caps  off  the  plugs  and 

secure them clear of the engine, noting which fits 
where.

 

6  Unscrew  the  bolts  securing  the  valve  cover 
then  lift  the  cover  off  the  cylinder  head 

(see 

illustration). 

On  1996-on  TDM  models  and  all 

TRX models, note which bolt fits where as some 
are of different length. If the cover is stuck, do not 
try to lever it off with a screwdriver. Tap it gently 
around  the  sides  with  a  rubber  hammer  or  block 
of  wood  to  dislodge  it.  Also  remove  the  gasket. 
Note  the  rubber  spark  plug  hole  gaskets  fitted 
inside  the  cover  and  remove  them  if  they  are 
loose. 

Installation

 

7  Examine the valve cover gasket and the spark 
plug  hole  gaskets  for  signs  of  damage  or 
deterioration  and  renew  them  if  necessary. 
Similarly  check  the  rubber  grommets  on  the 
cover bolts 

(see illustration 7.10b).

 

8 

Clean the mating surfaces of the cylinder head 

and the valve cover with lacquer thinner, acetone 
or brake system cleaner.

 

9  Install the gasket onto the valve cover, making sure 
it fits correctly into the groove 

(see illustration). 

Also 

fit the spark plug hole     

o 

gaskets. Use a few dabs of 

grease to keep the gaskets in place while the cover is 
fitted. 

  

 

7.4 Release the clamp and detach the 

breather hose (arrowed)

 

7.6 Unscrew the valve cover bolts

 

(arrowed) and remove the cover - early

 

TDM and XTZ type cover shown

 

7.9 Fit the main gasket and the spark plug 
hole gaskets (arrowed) into their grooves
