Honda V65 Magna-VF1100C 1983 Shop Manual page 225

Remove the oil filler cap from the final gear case.
Rotate the ring gear several times in the normal
direction of rotation. Check the gear tooth contact
pattern through the oil filler hole. The pattern is
indicated by the Prussian Blue applied to the
pinion before assembly.
Contact is normal if the Prussian Blue is transfered
to the approximate center of each tooth and slightly
to the flank side.
If the patterns are not correct, remove and replace
the pinion spacer. Replace the pinion spacer with a
thicker one if the contacts are too high, toward the
face.
Replace the pinion spacer with a thinner one if the
contacts are too low, to the flank side. The patterns
will shift about
1.5-2.0
mm
(0.06-0.08
in) when
the thickness of the spacer is changed by 0.10 mm
(0.004 in).
