Checking swingarm endfloat
The shim thicknesses (17) are to be determined on refitting the swingarm.
Check the endfloat as follows:
insert a
1.8 mm shim (17) on either side of the engine;
hold the left arm of swingarm ( 8 ) against the engine and measure the clearance on the other side of engine using a feeler gauge
or calibrated shims.
The maximum permissible endfloat is 0.1 mm.
When a 0.10 mm feeler gauge or shim can only be inserted with difficulty, there is no need to install any further shims.
Otherwise, use the two available shim sizes ( 0.20 mm and 0.10 mm) to obtain the specified endfloat.
Example:
Important
The thicker of the two shim packs must always be installed on the right-hand side of the swingarm.
The thinnest shim should always be installed so that it is contact with the swingarm.
NEVER install
0.1 mm shims on the left-hands side.
The maximum thickness of the left-hand shim pack must be 2 mm ( 1.8+0.2 max.).
Side-to-side movement of the rear end of the swingarm must be below 1 mm.
