hey guys i was wondering is it ok to have a little bit of play in the cluchbell?? (back and fouth ) if not should i tighten up if so how ??



will post pics soon when i can get hold of my camara


the cluchbell is a rc10gt

any info will be greatly appreacited thanks nitrofreak:) :)
 
Back and forth? Like wobble or it slides in/out on the shaft a little bit. Normally, 1mm or so in/out is what you want. You don't want a tight fit, it kills the CB bearings.
 
olds slides in and out about 1 mm is this ok if it is no need to worry right
do u no the cluth in on about it is 1 speed


just for agrument sake how would would i tighten it up

Hey man, help me out here. Can you add some punctuation and a few of the missing letters so I can understand what you're saying? I feel like I'm watching "Wheel of Fortune" (Pat, I'd like to buy a vowel!)

If the clutchbell is sliding back and forth on the crankshaft, there's either a screw or an "E" clip on the end. Chances are you'd need to shim it up to take the slop out, but as Olds mentions, a bit of play is preferred so you're not pounding on your bearings all the time.

As to the rest, my apologies, but I simply can't follow ya! If you could try again, I'd appreciate it!
 
If you have a total of 2mm of play, that's a bit much. If you have 1mm of play, you should be fine. Although, I'd shim to about .5mm instead.

Depending on how the bell is attached to the crank, you use shims on the end of the shaft to keep the bell where you want it.
