The pistons are available in four size types (A, B, C, D) to be coupled to the four cylinder types (A, B, C, D).

Only one type of piston ring is available.

Crankcase - crankshaft - connecting rod

Internal marking on first generation crankcases

Crankcases are classified in two classes (1 or 2) depending on the diameter of the main bearing seat. The class is indicated on both crankcase halves, specifically, in the rear cylinder area on flywheel side crankcase halves and in the front cylinder area on clutch side crankcase halves.

Crankcase classes

Specification	Desc./Quantity
Crankcase class 1	Bushing seat diameter: 53.954 - 53.960 mm (2.1241 - 2.1244 in)
Crankcase class 2	Bushing seat diameter: 53.960 - 53.966 mm (2.1244 - 2.1246 in)

Internal marking on second generation crankcases

Crankcases are classified in two classes (1 or 2) depending on the diameter of the main bearing seat. The class is indicated on both crankcase halves, specifically, in the starter gear area on flywheel side crankcase halves and in the gearbox control mechanism area on clutch side crankcase halves.

There are three crankshaft classes selectable for each bearing:

4 - 5 - 6 for the flywheel side;
7 - 8 - 9 for the clutch side;

The class is stamped on the outer face of the crankshaft counterweight.

Note. Two different crankshaft classes may be possible on the two bearings.

Crankshaft classes

Specification	Desc./Quantity
Crankshaft classes 4 - 7	Main journals - diameter: 49.978 - 49.984 mm (1.9676 - 1.9679 in)
Crankshaft classes 5 - 8	Main journals - diameter: 49.972 - 49.978 mm (1.9674 - 1.9676 in)
Crankshaft classes 6 - 9	Main journals - diameter: 49.990 - 49.984 mm (1.9681 - 1.9679 in)

Once the categories below are checked:

crankcase
flywheel side main journal
clutch side main journal

Choose the bushings used for assembly from the following table.

Main bushings

Main journal	Crankcase class 1	Crankcase class 2
Class 4 main journal (l.v.)	Semi-bushing type A (red)	Semi-bushing type B (blue)
Class 5 main journal (l.v.)	Semi-bushing type B (blue)	Semi-bushing type C (yellow)
Class 6 main journal (l.v.)	Semi-bushing type E (green)	Semi-bushing type A (red)
Class 7 main journal (l.f.)	Semi-bushing type A (red)	Semi-bushing type B (blue)
Class 8 main journal (l.f.)	Semi-bushing type B (blue)	Semi-bushing type C (yellow)
Class 9 main journal (l.f.)	Semi-bushing type E (green)	Semi-bushing type A (red)

Crankcase class (internal marking on first generation crankcases)

Two different crankcase classes (A or B) are available, selected in relation to the centre-to-centre distance between the primary reduction gears.

The class is indicated on the clutch side crankcase half near the front cylinder area.

The class is indicated on the clutch side crankcase half near the front cylinder area.

Note. In the event of crankcase replacement, the primary reduction gear is supplied ready meshed.

Crankcase classes 01

Specification	Desc./Quantity
Crankcase class A	Centre-to-centre distance: 110.50 - 110.54 mm (4.3504 - 4.3519 in)
Crankcase class B	Centre-to-centre distance: 110.46 - 110.50 mm (4.3488 - 4.3504 in)

Crankcase class (internal marking on second generation crankcases)

The class is indicated on the clutch side crankcase half, in the gearbox control mechanism area.

Note. In the event of crankcase replacement, the primary reduction gear is supplied ready meshed.

Crankcase classes 02

Specification	Desc./Quantity
Crankcase class A	Centre-to-centre distance: 110.50 - 110.54 mm (4.3504 - 4.3519 in)
Crankcase class B	Centre-to-centre distance: 110.46 - 110.50 mm (4.3488 - 4.3504 in)

Class one

Two different pinion classes (A or B) are available, selected in relation to the centre-to-centre distance between the primary reduction gears.

On class B pinions only, the class is indicated on the pinion itself.

On class B pinions only, the class is indicated on the pinion itself.

Crankshaft class (crank pin)

There are four different classes of crankshaft available (0, 1, 2, 3), selected in relation to crank pin diameter.

There are four different classes of crankshaft available (E1, E2, ...) selectable in relation to connecting rod weight.

There are four different classes of crankshaft available (E1, E2, ...) selectable in relation to…

Key:

Class according to connecting rod weight.
*Class according to crank pin diameter.
**Serial number for traceability and indicating date.

Shaft category

Class	Crank pin diameter (mm)
0	42.000 - 42.006 mm (1.65354 - 1.65377 in)
1	41.994 - 42.000 mm (1.65330 - 1.65354 in)
2	41.988 - 41.994 mm (1.65307 - 1.65330 in)
3	41.982 - 41.988 mm (1.65283 - 1.65307 in)

Selecting bushings

There is only one dimension class for the connecting rod. As a result, the bushings used must be selected in accordance with the dimension class of the crank pin.

Bushings

Crank pin diameter	Connecting rod class 1
Crankshaft class 0	Semi-bushing type E (green)
Crankshaft class 1	Semi-bushing type A (red)
Crankshaft class 2	Semi-bushing type B (blue)
Crankshaft class 3	Semi-bushing type C (yellow)

Selecting connecting rods

Not all weight classes are available as spare parts. Only the two most significant weight classes are available - refer to the following table for selection:

Connecting rods

Class according to crankshaft weight	Original connecting rod class
E1	Brown connecting rod
E2	Blue connecting rod
E3	Yellow connecting rod
E4	Green connecting rod
E5	Pink connecting rod
E6	Black connecting rod
E7	White connecting rod

Caution!

The connecting rods installed on the same engine must be of the same colour and must use the same type of assembly with the crankshaft.

When refitting, also ensure that the semi-bushings are all of the same class.
