Hi All,
Wish you a great 2012!
After a long gap of work in my garage, forced by less important work but the paying kind, Ive returned to assembly:-
1) I've joined the casings.
2) Installed bearing retainers, oil pump, pipes, o-rings, etc.
3) closed up the oil pan.
Still have one concern and wont continue until I get your expert advice/opinion incase I need to remove the pump again.
Question:- The driven gear on the oil pump had a slight "rotational" play around the oil pump axle.
Is some play standard? Wasn't able to find anything in cd manual or internet.
Yamaha agent was not able to confirm, and part although not too expensive, has a
6 week wait.
I fitted the pump as a "general" bike spares specialist said it was ok to do so, but
I'm now having second thoughts.
If some play allowable, how much?
BTW. bazwell, still having fantastic weather in Jo'burg
or rather
with bike in garage.
Cheers
Angelo
