SHIFT FORK-GROOVE CLEARANCE
Using a thickness gauge, check the shifting fork clearance
in
the groove of its gear.
The clearance
for each of the three shifting forks plays an
important role in the smoothness and positiveness of shift-
ing action.
Shift fork-Groove clearance
Standard: 0.10-0.30 mm (0.004-0.012 in)
Service Limit: 0.50 mm (0.020 in)
If the clearance checked is noted to exceed the limit speci-
fied,
replace the fork or its gear, or both.
