(DRIVE AXLE)

1. No gap all around

– Pull drive axle toward the end bearing housing

and take note of the measurement between
sprocket and tunnel.

The drive axle axial play is the difference between
these 2 measurements.

– Repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times to obtain an

accurate measurement.

The allowable drive axle axial play is 0 to 1.5 mm
(0 to .060 in).

The drive axle axial play, as calculated above,
should be within the allowable axial play, add
shim(s) accordingly.

– Remove drive axle, install required shim(s) as

per the

shim position

chart, reinstall drive axle

without the suspension and track.

SHIM POSITION

Shim position is important to maintain proper
sprocket alignment.

When installing shims between the chaincase
and the drive axle bearing, there must be same
quantity of shims between the drive chain sprock-
et and spacer.

1. Chaincase
2. Spacer
3. Same quantity

– Doublecheck drive axle axial play as described

above.

– Modify total shim thickness as required.

– Reinstall track and suspension. Adjust track

tension and alignment.

NOTE:

Center the track suspension to ensure

that the alignment check made in the next step is
accurate.

– To center, grasp the track suspension and move

it sideways, left and right. Position the track
suspension at the midpoint of its sideways
movement.

– Check track front alignment by measuring the

gap, on each side between guide cleat and the
slider shoe, behind the suspension front axle as
shown.

CAUTION

Install shim(s) following the pattern shown
in the chart.
