Differential Gear Bearing Case Shim Clearance - Suzuki Vinson LT-A500F Service Manual

4-22 SHAFT DRIVE AND DIFFERENTIAL
BACKLASH
Measure the backlash of the differential gear using the dial
gauge, as shown. Take backlash readings at several places
while turning the flange slightly in each direction and securely
holding the differential driven gear. Read the total backlash on
the dial gauge.
If the backlash is not within specification, the shim thickness
must be changed and the backlash checked until it is within
specification. Refer to the chart at the right for the appropriate
shim thickness.
WM Differential bevel gear backlash
Standard: 0.01 - 0.05 mm (0.0004 - 0.0020 in)
Without bearing case specification
0.07 - 0.15 mm (0.0028 - 0.0059 in)
Bearing case assembled specification
NOTE:
Adjust the backlash by referring to the chart at the right and
using the thickness of the old shims as a guide.
