FLYWHEEL AND CONNECTING RODS

GENERAL

Symptoms

Flywheels that shift out of true at the crank pin generally exhibit
one of two symptoms: no oil pressure or vibration. This condi-
tion is also known as scissored flywheels.

No Oil Pressure

When the right side crankshaft shifts more than 0.015 in (0.381
mm), it can break the oil pump gerotors, resulting in a loss of
oil pressure.

If a very low or no oil pressure condition is confirmed, inspect
the oil pump and cam support plate. If the oil pump gerotors
are bound or damaged, the cause is likely from a contaminant
running through the pump or a shifted crankshaft. If this type
of damage is found, always replace the oil lines and clean all
debris

from

the

oil

pan

or

oil

tank.

See

1.24 TROUBLESHOOTING

for general diagnostics of low oil

pressure.

Vibration

Generally, left crankshaft runout must exceed 0.020 in. (0.508
mm) to be noticeable to the rider. It is much more likely that
vibration issues will be resolved by following the checklist in

1.24 TROUBLESHOOTING

.

If correct chassis set-up has been verified and other items in

1.24 TROUBLESHOOTING

have been eliminated, checking

left crankshaft runout is appropriate.

INSPECTION

NOTE

Do not attempt to straighten connecting rods. Straightening
rods will damage both the upper bushing and lower bearing.

1.

Replace the flywheel/connecting rod assembly if any of
the following conditions are noted:

a.

Connecting rods are bent or twisted.

b.

Connecting rods do not fall under their own weight or
are in a bind.

c.

Sprocket teeth are worn in an irregular pattern or
chipped.

d.

The crankshaft (roller) bearing inner races are
brinelled, burnt, scored, blued or damaged.

e.

The crankshaft runout exceeds specification.

NOTE

Bluing on connecting rods is part of the hardening process and
is considered a normal condition.

2.

Check connecting rod bearing clearance. Orient the
assembly as shown in

Figure 3-147

.

a.

Holding the shank of each rod just above the bearing
bore, pull up and down on the connecting rods.

b.

Any discernible up and down movement indicates
excessive lower bearing clearance. Replace the fly-
wheel/connecting rod assembly.

3.

Measure crankshaft runout if the crankshaft is suspected
of being out-of-true.

NOTE

If the flywheel, connecting rods or right side bearing inner race
need to be replaced, then replace the entire flywheel assembly.

cause premature failure of bearing and related parts.
(00540b)

NOTE

Main drive gear and bearing can be removed with the transmis-
sion case in the frame after removing bearing housing
assembly. Use MAIN DRIVE GEAR/BEARING REMOVER
AND INSTALLER (Part No. HD-35316-C).

5.

Remove retaining ring.

NOTES

The main drive gear bearing and retaining ring must be
replaced if the main drive gear is removed. The bearing
will be damaged during the removal procedure.

The CROSS PLATE (Part No. HD-35316-3A) is stamped,
"UP 6 SPEED". Mount cross plate with this end pointing
up.

6.

See

Figure 6-34

. Place CROSS PLATE (Part No. HD-

35316-3A) (1) on right side of transmission case as shown,

and secure with two screws (2). Position cross plate so
that large bolt hole in cross plate is lined up with center of
main drive gear (4).

7.

nut until main drive gear is free.

NOTES

When removing the main drive gear, the gear is pressed
out against the resistance of the bearing inner race.
Without any support at the inner race, the bearing is des-
troyed. Whenever the main drive gear is removed the main
drive gear bearing must also be replaced.

See

Figure 6-35

. When the main drive gear is removed,

a portion of the bearing inner race remains attached to
the main drive gear. If the main drive gear is to be re-used,
this inner race must be removed first.

9.

Remove tool and remove gear from gearcase.

10. See

Figure 6-35

. Use WEDGE ATTACHMENT (Part

No. HD-95637-46B) and LONG BOLTS (Part No. HD-
95637-10) to remove inner race from main drive gear.

11. Remove large main drive gear oil seal.

12. Remove retaining ring from bearing bore.

13. See

Figure 6-36

over small end of BEARING DRIVER (Part No. HD-35316-
9) (2).

14. Apply a light coat of graphite lubricant to the threads of

the 8 IN. BOLT (Part No. HD-35316-4A) (1) and insert
through bearing driver and pilot.

15. Insert bolt with bearing driver and pilot into right side of

transmission case, through main drive gear bearing (4).
Make sure bearing driver fits up against main drive gear
bearing and pilot is centered in bearing bore.

16. At left side of case, slide RECEIVER CUP (Part No. HD-

35316-11) (5) onto bolt and over main drive gear bearing.
Install BEARING (Part No. RS-25100-200) (6), flat washer
(7) and nut (8) over end of bolt.

NOTE

Support bearing remover assembly as you remove bearing in
the following step. Entire assembly will fall out of transmission
case when bearing comes free.

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)

1.

Clean all parts in solvent except the transmission case
and needle bearings. Dry with compressed air.

NOTE

Never wash the transmission case and needle bearings with
solvent unless replacing the needle bearings. Normal cleaning
methods will wash dirt or other contaminants into the bearing
case (behind the needles) and will lead to bearing failure.
