The inspection is already done, so let’s get the oil-cooled maintenance work done.
The engine damper looks like an original part. It’s quite worn from vibration.
The case wears down from vibration too, so inspection is necessary after a certain distance or time.
The later-model damper can be secured with bolts only and has excellent serviceability.
I removed the generator damper for replacement, but the lock nut and washer are missing—this is a problem.
It’s unclear whether the gear slipping caused it, but the gear has snapped.
I removed the clutch assembly and looked around to see if it was anywhere—checking carefully.
There’s not much damage, so it seems to have gone somewhere without a trace.
I tried fishing in the oil pan with a magnet, but got no hits. I don’t think there will be major problems as things stand, but if the opportunity comes up, it might be worth checking the oil pan.
The housing and plate look fine as they are.
I used a later-model clutch nut and locked it physically for peace of mind.
The clutch spring is secured with an M6 bolt, but it stretches excessively. So I made the bolt 5mm longer under the head and secured it that way.
Now I can close the cover with confidence.
The generator connector had no corrosion, so I cleaned it and reused it.
The inside of the sprocket cover was a bit oily, so I cleaned it. Let’s use it and check the area.
