Measuring Piston to Cylinder Fit

NOTE

This inspection is very heat sensitive. Do not check piston
running clearance immediately after honing or deglazing cyl-
inder. Even holding the piston in your hand for too long can
cause measurements to vary by as much as 0.002 in. (0.051
mm). Both piston and cylinder must be at room temperatures
before proceeding.

Measure the piston running clearance. Proceed as follows:

NOTE

Check the piston clearance in the cylinder in which the piston
will run. The torque plates must be installed on the cylinder to
simulate an assembled cylinder for accurate measurement of
cylinder.

Measure the piston skirt at the oval openings and then
transfer that measurement to a dial bore gauge.

3.

Using a grease pencil, mark the top, middle and bottom
of the piston ring travel zone in the cylinder bore. Measure

at markings in cylinder parallel and perpendicular to
crankshaft.

XR 1200 Models: Oversized pistons are not available. Replace piston and/or cylinder if exceeds wear limits.

1.

The cylinder must be bored with gaskets and torque plates
attached. Bore the cylinder to 0.003 in. (0.08 mm) under
the desired finished size.

2.

Hone the cylinder to its finished size using a 280 grit rigid
hone followed by a 240 grit flexible ball hone. Honing must
be done with the torque plates attached. All honing must
be done from the bottom (crankcase) end of the cylinder.
Work for a 60° crosshatch pattern.

See

Table 3-35

for final cylinder bore sizes after honing.

NOTES

When cylinder requires oversize re-boring to beyond 0.010
in. (0.25 mm), the oversize limit has been exceeded and
cylinder must be replaced.

The same piston may be used if cylinder bore was not
changed, unless it is scuffed or grooved. However, replace
rings and hone the cylinder walls with a No. 240 grit flexible
ball hone.

Failure to remove all abrasive particles may result in pre-
mature cylinder, piston and ring wear and engine failure.
(00537b) .

3.

Thoroughly wash the cylinder bore with liquid dishwashing
soap and warm water to remove all abrasive particles and
residual grit. Continue cleaning until a clean cloth shows
no remaining dirt or debris.

Compressed air can pierce the skin and flying debris from
compressed air could cause serious eye injury. Wear
safety glasses when working with compressed air. Never
use your hand to check for air leaks or to determine air
flow rates. (00061a)

4.

Hot rinse the cylinder and dry with moisture free low
pressure compressed air.

5.

Immediately apply a thin film of clean engine oil to a clean
white paper towel and thoroughly wipe the inside of the
cylinder.

NOTE

After wiping the cylinder with a clean, oiled paper towel, the
towel will be dark with contamination. Repeat this process
using a new lightly oiled paper towel each time until the towel
remains white. The cylinder is now clean.

6.

With the cylinder at room temperature, check the piston
clearance in the cylinder in which the piston will run.

Fitting Piston Rings

See

Figure 3-140

. Piston rings are of two types: compression

and oil control. The two compression rings are positioned in
the two upper piston ring grooves. The dot on the second
compression ring must face upward. Ring sets are available
to fit standard and oversize pistons.

Piston ring sets must be properly fitted to piston and cylinder:

1.

See

Figure 3-141

. Place piston in cylinder about 1/2 in.

(13 mm) from top. Set ring to be checked inside cylinder,
squarely against piston. Remove piston and check ring
end gap with thickness gauge. See

3.2 SPECIFICATIONS

for tolerance.

NOTE

See piston ring gap Service Wear Limits in

b.

Apply reamer lubricant to finishing stones of hone and
inside of upper connecting rod bushing.

c.

Start finishing stones of hone into bushing.

d.

Activating the drill, move the entire length of the fin-
ishing stone arrangement forward and backward
through the bushing bore for 10 to 12 complete
strokes. Work for a crosshatch pattern of approxim-
ately 60°.

NOTE

Abrasive particles can damage machined surfaces and
plug oil passageways possibly resulting in engine failure.

2.

Using contact cleaner or cleaning solvent, thoroughly wipe
upper connecting rod and bushing of any metal shavings
or debris. Continue wiping until a clean cloth shows no
evidence of dirt or debris.

3.

Lightly oil a good piston pin and insert it into the upper
connecting rod bushing bore to feel for the proper interfer-
ence fit. The pin should slide in and out of the bushing
without binding, but also without pivoting or rocking.

4.

Remove CONNECTING ROD CLAMPING TOOL.

5.

Remove shop towels exercising caution that shavings,
chips and other debris do not fall into crankcase.

Repair

If connecting rod is bent, do not attempt to straighten. Flywheel

NOTE

Removal and installation of the inner and outer bearing races
require the use of shop-made tools. Dimensions for fabricating
the tools are shown in

, and

Figure 3-163

.

1.

See

Table 3-40

. Measure I.D. of outer race at four places

with a dial bore gauge. Take measurement on I.D. where
bearing rollers ride. Record the four measurements.

If the largest measurement is larger than 1.5672 in.
(39.807 mm) or the required lapping to remove wear marks
would enlarge bore beyond 1.5672 in. (39.807 mm), con-
tinue at Step 8.

3.

If the largest measurement is 1.5672 in. (39.807 mm) or
less, cover the cam bearings with masking tape to prevent
debris from entering bearings. Assemble crankcase halves.

NOTE

The next step requires lapping the outer race. To keep sprocket
shaft and pinion shaft bearings aligned, the lap must be sup-
ported by an adaptor or pilot in the left crankcase.

4.

Lap the outer race. See

3.23 CRANKCASE, Lapping

Engine Main Bearing Races

. The race must be lapped

until all wear marks are removed.

5.

After lapping race, again measure I.D. of race at four
places and record the measurements.

6.

Check measurements against the specifications listed in

Table 3-40

.

7.

If lapping increased bore I.D. to larger than 1.5672 in.
(39.807 mm), go to next step. If roundness or taper do not
meet specifications, continue lapping until specifications
are met. If all specifications are met, continue at Step 10
to remove and size inner race.

NOTE

Always use the smallest outer race I.D. measurement and the
largest O.D. inner race measurement when selecting bearings.

8.

Press the outer race from the right crankcase. Press new
outer race into crankcase flush with inside edge of cast-in
insert.

9.

The new outer race must be lapped slightly to true and
align with left case bearing, and to meet the specifications
in

Table 3-41

. See

3.23 CRANKCASE, Lapping Engine

Main Bearing Races

Inner Bearing Finish Example

The following example illustrates how to determine the required
inner race O.D.

1.

If smallest measured I.D. of outer race is 1.5651 in.
(39.754 mm) the

Table 3-39

indicates an inner race O.D.

range of 1.2496-1.2504 in. (31.740-31.760 mm) is
required.

NOTE

Have machinist grind outer race to center or middle of required
O.D. range. This will prevent grinding outer race undersize and
gives a more easily achieved tolerance range.

2.

Grind inner race O.D. to the middle of the desired range
as determined by

Table 3-39

. Measure O.D. at four places

and check that specifications in

Table 3-42

are met.

3.

For example purposes:

a.

the largest measured O.D. of inner race after grinding
is 1.2499 in. (31.747 mm) O.D.

b.

Refer to

Table 3-39

. With a 1.5651 in. (39.754 mm)

I.D. outer race and a 1.2499 in. (31.747 mm) O.D.
inner race, a blue bearing is required.

3.

Secure right and left crankcase halves with three crank-
case stud bolts (top center and bottom left and right).

4.

Insert lap shaft with arbor assembled through pinion
bearing bushing and into lapping tool adapter. Tighten
arbor expansion collars using a length of 0.156 in. (3.96
mm) rod as spanner until arbor begins to drag. Do not
adjust arbor snug in bushing or bushing will bell, a condi-
tion where hole is larger at ends than it is in the center.

5.

Withdraw arbor far enough to coat lightly with 220 grit
lapping compound. Do not apply a heavy coat. Reposition
lap in bushing and turn handle at moderate hand speed.
Work lap back and forth in bushing, as it is revolved, to
avoid grooving and tapering.

6.

At frequent intervals, remove lap from crankcase, wash
and inspect bushing. Lapping is completed when entire
bushing surface has a dull, satin finish rather than a glossy,
smooth appearance.

7.

When finished, flush off lap tool using cleaning solvent
and dry using compressed air. Apply fresh, light coat of
fine lapping compound.

OIL PUMP: XL MODELS

GENERAL

The oil pump seldom needs servicing. Before you disassemble
an oil pump suspected of not producing adequate oil pressure,
be sure that all possible related malfunctions have been elim-
inated.

1.

Make sure all oil line connections are tight and that lines
are not pinched or damaged.

2.

Check level and condition of oil in tank. Pressure will be
affected if oil is diluted. In freezing weather, proper circu-
lation of oil can be affected if the oil feed line becomes
clogged with ice or sludge.

3.

Check for a grounded oil pressure switch wire [120] or
faulty switch if oil pressure indicator light fails to go out
with engine running.

See

3.8 ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM

,

3.27 OIL TANK

and

6.36 OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
