  • Integral Gap Specs: The crankshaft assembly width reaches 37.990–37.995 mm for proper bearing clearance Configuration.
  • Operational Power Draw: 6V, 4 Amperes-heure — dictates the electrical system energy storage Benchmarks.
  • Critical Component Weight: Fuel tank capacity produces 3.5 liters (0.92 US gallons) as the fuel reserve Range.

Professional Workshop Service Manual & Technical Specifications

Detailed Technical Reference Manual: Yamaha LB2/LB2M 50cc Minibike (1978) Logic-Archive

Component-Focus: LB2 (1978), LB2M (1978) // Unit-Designations: Engine, transmission, and chassis systems Logic // Technical-Scope: Complete service and maintenance documentation including specifications, inspection procedures, and assembly sequences.

Document Category Coverage Scope Reference Information
Engine Systems Ignition timing, carburation, and combustion chamber procedures Complete specifications provided
Transmission & Reduction Primary and secondary drive mechanisms with gear ratios See Chapter B specifications
Chassis & Suspension Wheel bearings, brake assemblies, and steering head data Documented across Chapter 5 sections

Systematizing the service groups into engine overhaul, periodic maintenance, transmission adjustment, chassis inspection, electrical diagnostics, and troubleshooting guide, the document identifies crankshaft deflection limits, establishes clutch lever freeplay tolerance, and addresses steering head bearing adjustment with integrated schematic diagrams. Cooling system maintenance is addressed in the carburetor and air cleaner sections, fuel system servicing follows lubrication intervals, and reed valve assembly inspection requires reference measurement data. Testing requirements are specified for ignition point gap, battery specific gravity, and charging system output across engine speed ranges. Clearance measurements are addressed for piston-to-bore fit, connecting rod end play, and transmission gear backlash.

The manual documents torque specifications for fastener fatigue prevention, including spark plug installation (2.5 m-kg), cylinder head attachment (1.0 m-kg), and drivetrain component assembly (4.5–5.5 m-kg range). Specifications encompass displacement (49 cc), bore and stroke (40.0 × 39.7 mm), compression ratio (5.43:1 or 6.6:1 variant), and clutch friction plate thickness limits (3.5 mm new, 3.2 mm minimum). Reed valve bending tolerance is documented as 0.3 mm maximum deflection. Carburetor data includes jet sizing, needle jet positioning, float level adjustment (22.0–22.5 mm ±1 mm), and idling speed reference (1,350 ± 100 rpm). Air/fuel mixture adjustment procedures reference pilot screw positioning and jet needle clip location. Autolube pump stroke length ranges from 0.15–0.20 mm (minimum) to 0.70–1.02 mm (maximum) depending on model variant. Tire pressure specifications are documented for front (1.2 kg/cm²) and rear (1.5 kg/cm²) application. Electrical system data includes ignition coil spark gap (6 mm minimum at 500 rpm), contact point gap (0.3–0.4 mm), and battery charge specifications (6V, 4Ah capacity). Lighting output and charging coil resistance values are provided for multiple market variants (Germany, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, France, Switzerland).

Precisely establishing the document's technical scope, the manual includes wiring diagrams for regional variants, cable routing schematics, and component identification drawings. Circuit diagrams reference switch positions, battery connections, and harness assembly orientation. Troubleshooting guidance addresses compression pressure diagnosis, spark generation faults, fuel delivery blockage, and carburetor operation anomalies. The document incorporates French and German translations of all English-language content for multi-market service support. Maintenance intervals table specifies inspection frequency at 500 km initial, 1,500 km, 3,000 km, and 6,000 km service points. Lubrication schedule references SAE 10W-30 Type "SE" motor oil selection, lithium soap grease application, and medium-weight wheel bearing grease specification. Component inspection procedures detail cylinder bore measurement technique, piston ring end gap verification, crankshaft runout assessment, and clutch shoe lining thickness evaluation (2.5 mm new, 2.0 mm replacement limit). Ignition timing adjustment method uses dial gauge apparatus with referenced top-dead-center piston position and flywheel rotation sequence.

FAQ

Specify the **applicable** lubrication type for the transmission? keyboard_arrow_down

SAE 10W-30 Type "SE" motor oil is required for all transmission service and regular lubrication intervals as specified in the maintenance schedule.

What is the **exact** spark plug gap specification for ignition testing? keyboard_arrow_down

0.35 mm is the normal gap specification, with minimum tolerance of 0.30 mm and maximum of 0.40 mm measured with a thickness gauge.

Calculate the **specific** clutch shoe lining replacement limit by measurement? keyboard_arrow_down

2.0 mm is the wear limit threshold; new clutch shoes measure 2.5 mm, requiring replacement when worn to this critical dimension.

What values are **designated** for total oil tank capacity in the fuel system? keyboard_arrow_down

1.3 liters is the oil tank capacity specified for the Chappy LB2/LB2M series, with transmission requiring 700 cm³ total or 650 cm³ for oil changes.

Assess the **critical** component specifications for the ignition system rectifier? keyboard_arrow_down

DE4504/STANLEY or S5108/TOSHIBA rectifiers feature 400V withstand voltage and 4A maximum allowable amperage for proper charging system operation on 1978 models.
