FINAL GEAR SHIMS ADJUSTMENT
FINAL GEAR BEARING CASE SHIM CLEARANCE
• Install the final driven gear, shims (1 and 2) and final gear
bearing case to the final gear case.
• Tighten the final gear case bolts to the specified torque.
! Final gear case bolt: 23 N . m (2.3 kgf . m, 16.5 lb-ft)
NOTE:
It is not necessary to apply SUZUKI BOND "1207B" to the match-
ing surface at this stage.
• Measure the clearance between the shims and bearing. If it is
not within the specification, the shims must be changed.

BACKLASH
After assembling the final gear case, measure the final bevel gear
backlash as follows.
• Install the backlash measuring tool on the drive bevel gear cou-
pling, and set-up a dial gauge as shown in photo.
# 09924-34510: Backlash measuring tool (27 – 50 mm)
09900-20606 : Dial gauge (1/100 mm, 10 mm)
09900-20701 : Magnetic stand
• Adjust the dial gauge so that it touches the backlash measur-
ing tool arm at the mark; hold the final driven bevel gear se-
curely, and turn the final drive bevel gear coupling slightly in
each direction, reading the total backlash on the dial gauge.
