Checking the Timing Chain and Guide | Yamaha LIT-11616-16-02

CRANKCASE

ENG

●Remove the left crankcase.

CAUTION:

Use a soft hammer to tap on one side of the crankcase. Tap only on reinforced portions of the crankcase. Do not tap on the crankcase mating surfaces. Work slowly and carefully. Make sure that the crankcase halves separate evenly.

●Remove the dowel pins.

*****************************************************

CHECKING THE TIMING CHAIN AND GUIDE

1.Check:

●Timing chain

Cracks/stiff → Replace the timing chain and camshaft sprocket as a set.

2.Check:

●Intake side timing chain guide Wear/damage → Replace.

CHECKING THE OIL STRAINER AND OIL DELIVERY PIPE

1.Check:

●Oil strainer 1

2.Check:

●Oil delivery pipe Cracks/damage → Replace.

Clogged → Blow out with compressed air.
