Hold the left arm of the swingarm (8) against the engine and measure play on the other side of engine using a feeler
gauge or calibrated shims.
Maximum side play allowed is up to 0.1 mm.
When a 0.10 mm feeler gauge or shim is hard to fit, there is no need to shim the shaft. Otherwise, shims are
available in two sizes (0.20 mm and 0.10 mm) to adjust play.
For example:
Measured
play
Shims on left
side
Shims on right
side
0,10 - One 0.10
mm shim
0,20 One 0.10
mm shim
One 0.10
mm shim
0,30 One 0.10
mm shim
One 0.20
mm shim
Caution
Always put the largest amount of shimming on the right side of the swingarm.
Refitting the rear swingarm
Grease both faces of shim (9) chosen after checking end float (see “Checking swingarm end float” in this section).
Position the swingarm (8) to the engine, on left-hand side fit the chosen shim (9) in-between the swingarm and the
engine.
