Installation of the generator cover
Before the assembly, make sure that the following parts are fitted on the generator cover (9):
-
the crankshaft bearing (11) with the circlip;
-
the generator stator (12) with cable locking bracket (13).
Fit the water pump unit (Refitting the water pump).
Remove any scale and grease from the mating surfaces of the left-hand crankcase half and the generator cover.
Fit the two centring bushes (14).
Spread a continuous uniform bead of DUCATI sealing compound on the cover mating surface, ensuring continuity around the holes for the retaining screws and bushes.
Grease the crankshaft and the gearchange lever shaft ends to facilitate installation of the cover and to prevent the sealing ring (10) from being damaged, if already installed in the cover.
While positioning the cover (9) on the crankcase half, slightly turn the timing layshaft belt rollers to facilitate insertion of the pump control shaft.
Starter motor gear pin (C) must be inserted inside the recess (B) on the generator cover.
Tap the cover at different positions with a rubber mallet to facilitate its location on the shafts and centring bushes.
Note
Should it be necessary to remove the cover again, fit the puller part no. 88713.1749 located in the threaded holes in correspondence with the crankshaft.
Insert the fixing screws in their holes following the indications given in the table.
