Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Service Manual: Crankshaft thrust clearance inspection and selection
Refer to “engine bottom side disassembly” (page 1d- 49).
Refer to “engine bottom side assembly” .
Inspection
- With the crankshaft’s right-side and left-side thrust bearings inserted into the upper crankcase.
- Measure the thrust clearance “a” between the leftside thrust bearing and crankshaft using the thickness gauge. If the thrust clearance exceeds the standard range, adjust the thrust clearance.
| Note pull the crankshaft to the left (generator side) so that there is no clearance on the right-side thrust bearing. |
Special tool
: 09900–20803 (thickness gauge)
Crankshaft thrust clearance “a” standard: 0.060 – 0.110 Mm (0.0024 – 0.0043 In)
|
Selection
- Remove the right-side thrust bearing and measure its thickness using the micrometer. If the thickness of the right-side thrust bearing is below standard, replace it with a new bearing and measure the thrust clearance again, as described in inspection 1) and 2).
Special tool
(a): 09900–20205 (micrometer (0 – 25
mm))
Right-side thrust bearing thickness standard: 2.420 – 2.440 Mm (0.0953 – 0.0961 In)
- If the right-side thrust bearing is within the standard range, reinsert the right-side thrust bearing and remove the left-side thrust bearing.
- With the left-side thrust bearing removed, measure the clearance “a” using the thickness gauge as shown.
Special tool
(b): 09900–20803 (thickness gauge)
- Select a left-side thrust bearing from the selection table.
| Note right-side thrust bearing has the same specification as the green (12228-48b00-0e0) of left-side thrust bearing. |
Thrust bearing selection table
|
- After selecting a left-side thrust bearing, install it and then measure the thrust clearance again.
