Kawasaki VERSYS (2006) [319/627] Balancer shaft bearing insert journal clearance

CRANKSHAFT/TRANSMISSION 9-29

Balancer

NOTE

○

Do not turn the balancer shaft during clearance mea-

surement.

○

Remove the lower crankcase half and measure the plas-

tigage width [A] to determine the bearing insert/journal [B]

clearance.

Balancer Shaft Bearing Insert/Journal Clearance

Standard: 0.011 ∼ 0.033 mm (0.0004 ∼ 0.0013 in.)

Service Limit: 0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)

If the c learance is w ithin the standard, no bearing insert

replacement is required.

If the clearance is between 0.034 mm (0.00134 in.) and

the service limit (0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)), replace the

bearing inserts [A] with inserts painted blue [B] Check

insert/journal clearance with a plastigage. The clearance

may exceed the standard slightly, but it must not be less

than the minimum in order to avoid bearing seizure.

If the clearance exceeds the service limit, measure the

diameter of the balancer shaft journal.

Balancer Shaft Journal Diameter

Standard: 27.987 ∼ 28.000 m m (1.1019 ∼ 1. 1024 in.)

Service Limit: 27.96 mm (1.1008 in.)

If either journal has worn past the service limit, replace

the balancer shaft with a new one.

If the m easured journal diameters are not less than the

service limit, but do not coincide with the original diameter

markings on the balancer shaft, write new marks on it.
