Aligning The Middle Gear - Yamaha FJR 1300 AE 2014 Service Manual

TIP
While carefully tightening the middle driven shaft
bearing housing bolts in stages and in a criss-
cross pattern, turn the middle driven shaft back
and forth until the dial gauge reads 0.10–0.20
mm (0.0039–0.0079 in).
6. Measure:
• Crankcase-to-middle-driven-shaft-bearing-
housing clearance
(with a thickness gauge)
7. Select:
• Middle driven pinion gear shim(s) "1"

a. Shims can only be selected in 0.05 mm incre-
ments, therefore round off to the hundredth's
digit of the calculated thickness and select
the appropriate shims with the following
chart.
b. For example, the clearance between the
crankcase and the middle driven shaft bear-
ing housing is 0.42 mm. Therefore, the chart
instructs you to round off the 2 to 0. Thus, you
should use one 0.40 mm shim.

ALIGNING THE MIDDLE GEAR

TIP
Aligning the middle gear is necessary when any
of the following parts are replaced:
• Crankcase
• Middle drive shaft
• Middle driven shaft bearing housing
1. Select:
• Middle drive pinion gear shim(s) "1"
• Middle driven pinion gear shim(s) "2"
TIP
▼▼▼
Select the middle driven gear shim(s) "2" by cal-
culating the middle drive gear shim thickness
and then measuring the middle gear backlash.
