Crankshaft/Mount



Crankshaft/Mount

The drop-forged crankshaft runs in five bearings and has eight counterweights. Main bearing 3 is designed as a thrust bearing. Axial play is determined by two thrust washers, which are inserted into the bearing halves. The main bearings are two-component bearings and have a diameter of -> length: 64 mm.







Since the lower part of the crankcase is made of an all-aluminium alloy, the main bearings are stronger than those used previously and the retaining lugs have been changed to avoid confusion. The main bearings are also "lead free".
