RD200 Crankcase Tool
« on: September 18, 2010, 07:44:59 AM »
Lots of years ago my brother and I had to strip his RD125 when an oil pipe broke and wrecked the crank. Most things were fairly straight forward, apart from rejoining the crank cases. The big o ring seals at the centre made this near impossible and not wanting to resort to violence, we took it to the local Yamaha dealer for this job.



30 years on I had the same job to do on my RD200, this time I decided to make the tools to do the job, which was then quite easy. Here are few pictures and sketches in case it"s of use to anyone else.



Unfortunatly I can"t remember what the exact thread is on the end of the crank on the drive pinion side. I know its M12 fine but I"m not sure whether it is 1mm or 1.25mm.



If anyone does know please tell me and I"ll update the sketch.



Cheers



Mark C











This bit is for driving the crank out





This bit is for re-assembly. (different puller rod for each side)

I can"t really go into production as it was mainly built from bit"s and pieces I already had. For welding and some machining, I had to use mates. Screwed rod was from B&Q. M7 threaded bit was an old cylinder stud. PM sent.

This might be a good time to make a suggestion to the clubs admin team.



Why not buy and collect specialist tools for our RDs centrally ??



The club could invest in them, they could be "loaned" by fully paid up members only, secured on a refundable deposit (paypal ??).



It would be a great service, provided by the club to full members only. The club would be trying to ensure the correct rebuilding of our beloved RD"s and would be another benefit for paid up members ??



What do you think guys ??



Just an idea, not trying to spend the clubs money

Nice work.  Recently I had to split a couple of crankshafts.  RD200B and RD200DX.  No tools.  Looked in an old Yamaha service manual for direction and built a set.  Used some heavy bar stock.  Tacked together and roughed out with a hole saw.  Finished on my small lathe. Works well.  Also a pic showing the armature ends, crank centers of a RD200 and a RD200DX and the difference.  Someone on the forum was once wondering about the difference.  Also our (USA) CS3,5, not shown, used a different taper for the generator armature.  Here it is.  Don

I was having a trawl through the site to get some info on the replacement of crank seals when I found this from 2010. Has anyone had experience of using the various brands of splitter/puller to split the case? Given that this looks pretty tricky who would member recommend for crank removal and reinstallation (UK)?
