Kawasaki KLE500 (2004) [146/401] Piston ring groove clearance
5-34 ENGINE TOP END
Cylinder, Piston
Piston Ring, Piston Ring Groove Wear
Check for uneven groove wear by inspecting the ring seat-
ing.
The rings should fit perfectly parallel to the groove sur-
faces. If not, the piston must be replaced.
With the piston rings in their grooves, make several mea-
surements with a thickness gauge [A] to determine piston
ring/groove clearance.
Piston Ring/Groove Clearance
Standard:
Top
0.03 0.07 mm (0.0012 0.002 8 in.)
Second 0.02 0.06 mm (0.0008 0.002 4 in.)
Service Limit:
Top
0.17 mm (0.00 67 in.)
Second 0.16 mm (0.0063 in.)
Piston Ring End Gap
Place the piston ring [A] inside the cylinder, using the pis-
ton to locate the ring squarely in place. Set it close to the
bottom of the cylinder, where cylinder wear is low.
Measure the gap [B] between the ends of the ring with a
thickness gauge.
Piston Ring End Gap
Standard:
Top
0.20 0.35 mm (0.00 79 0.0138 in.)
Second 0.20 0.35 mm (0.0079 0.0138 in.)
Oil 0.2 0.7 mm (0.008 0.028 in.)
Service Limit:
Top
0.7 mm (0.0276 in.)
Second 0.7 mm (0.0276 in.)
Oil 1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)
Cylinder Inside Diameter
Since there is a difference i n cylinder wear in different di-
rections, take a side-to-side and a front-to-back measure-
ment at each of the 3 locations (total of 6 measurements)
shown in the figure.
If any of the cylinder inside diameter measurements ex-
ceeds the service limit, the cylinder will have to be bored
to oversize and then honed.
[A] 10 mm
[B] 60 mm
[C] 20 mm
Cylinder In side Diameter
Standard: 74.000 74.012 mm (2.9134 2.9139 in.)
Service Limit: 74.11 mm (2.9177 in.)
