IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND
DISASSEMBLY
1. Before removal and disassembly remove all
dirt, mud, dust and foreign material.
2. Use only the proper tools and cleaning
equipment.
Refer to “SPECIAL TOOLS”.
3. When disassembling always keep mated
parts together. This includes gears, cylin-
ders, pistons and other parts that have been
“mated”through normal wear. Mated parts
must always be reused or replaced as an
assembly.
4. During disassembly, clean all of the parts
and place them in trays in the order of dis-
assembly. This will speed up assembly and
allow for the correct installation of all parts.
5. Keep all parts away from any source of fire.
EBS00014
REPLACEMENT PARTS
1. Use only genuine Yamaha parts for all
replacements. Use oil and grease recom-
mended by Yamaha for all lubrication jobs.
Other brands may be similar in function and
appearance, but inferior in quality.
EBS00015
GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS
1. When overhauling the engine, replace all
gaskets, seals and O-rings. All gasket sur-
faces, oil seal lips and O-rings must be
cleaned.
2. During reassembly properly oil all mating
parts and bearings, and lubricate the oil
seal lips with grease.
