Installing the crankshaft: bearing surfaces and cases

[GeorgeOC]

Hello everyone, potentially a very rookie inquiry here... I have just fitted the crankshaft assembly for a test fit before closing the bottom end up. Should there be any sealer, grease etc on the cases bearing seats?

Thanks!

No. I've heard of people using locktite on bearing surfaces but if assembled properly, there should be no reason for that. Plus, the XS uses pins to properly set and hold the bearings in place.

Noted, and thank you!
