Is end play in the secondary normal?

[BA]

Just greased up the jackshaft and drive axle bearings on my RS Venture, and as I was placing the secondary clutch back on the shaft I noticed between 1/16 and 1/8 of end play when the bolt is torqued.

I didn't notice the end play when I removed the bolt, but I was focused on holding the sheave more than anything.

I did make sure that the two spacers were between the secondary and the bearing in the same orientation as original.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

PS: Bearings needed regreasing big time at 3000 miles!

Yes the secondary should float a little on the shaft

Yes my 2007 RTX is the same.

I think that the service manual says 1mm (by memory); I'll check the manual when I get to my shop and if different let you know.

I checked the service manual; it's 1mm to 2 mm. If more add a shim behind the bolt
