Clutch offset question

[baggs66]

Mine is new 19 and haven't riden yet, so haven't done that yet lol, hopefully with the right alignment set float to 2mm and added air vents i won't have to much trouble with belts, time will tell

Just be aware not to take off more then flush(when fully shifted) If you take more then 3mm, you will need special shims made to fit inside the sheave. I took off 4mm as my stub shaft is pushed in about 1mm. And had custom shims made.

Wouldn't it be easier to line up the motor?

Not adjustable.

No that's for sure! The other way to do it, is machinning the brace that hold the drive-in bearing but not to much or chain case problemes.

Jackshaft bearings on the Cat and SW on the secondary are held in differently. I've seen SW bearing in varying locations on the jack shaft support.

I dont know about you guys but when I press a bearing in it get pressed till it bottoms. Jackshaft or Stubshaft they are made by same people at Cat. Stubshaft is from Japan. How can this be happening?

X2 how can a bearing move doesn't make any sense

Did chain case service and replaced jack shaft bearing , added Cat clip in bearing brace just because (Cheap insurance) , Apex used both a clip on shaft and bearing pocket .

Bearing on the SW is not held in the jack shaft support by any retaining ring, it's held in by the jack shaft with a circlip. Trust me I've seen them in various location within the jack shaft support.

The primary clutches do not all seat themselves the same distance up the PTO shaft, this changes the offset as well. Heck even taking the primary off and then reinstalling it will change the offset sometimes. I also believe not all tapers are cut the same (some clutches touching the bolts on the bearing holder).

This is a taper shaft how can the offset change by removing and re-installing the clutch

So because of this, EVERYTIME you take off your primary, you should re measure offset and shim the secondary accordingly. Correct Allen?

I believe this just happened to me.
I torqued it when i bought it.
I remeasured it with the Hurricane tool & i was 1mm off.
I removed clutch, re-torqued the stub shaft bolts, cleaned the ends, put on some anti-seize & i was 2.5 mm off.
So Allen knows his CHIT!
