the bottom of the crankcase with the grip of a

above.
(When reassembling)
IMPORTANT
• Do not change the combination of cylinder and
piston. Make sure of the position of each piston
by marking. For example, mark [1] on the No. 1
piston.
• When installing the piston into the cylinder,
place the gaps of all the piston rings as shown
in the figure.
(A) Top ring gap
(B) Second ring gap
(C) Oil ring gap
(D) Piston pin hole
(a) 0.79 rad (45°)
(b) 0.79 rad (45°)
(c) 1.6 rad (90°)
• Carefully insert the pistons using a piston ring
compressor (1). Otherwise, their chrome-plated
section may be scratched, causing trouble
inside the cylinder.
