[QUOTE="jaguar, post: 1440750, member: 19340"] You seem pretty smart so this info is probably already obvious to you. The side play tolerance serves two purposes, to maintain the center of the connecting rod under the piston, and to be small enough to prevent any clatter due to irregular side forces and to side pull due to the primary gear teeth not being " straight" (but rather angled to lessen gear noise but that exists more on street bikes). But it´s not something that is "adjustable" since it is determined by any slop in the main bearings. Too much slop indicates it´s time to replace them. I wouldn´t go by any generic figure as to what is too much, but by what the manufacturer says. If the play is a whole lot then it could be there is not a snug fit of the bearing in the crankcase half. I once had that happen in my Husqvarna 125 and it ruined the inside surface of the crankcase where the bearing "presses" into it. Luckily I found a shop that welded it and resurfaced it. [/QUOTE]
