Slight play between final drive output shaft and engine sprocket

<< < (2/2)

Ken4004:
Thanks everyone that puts my mind at ease, when you mechanically minded some thinks just don’t appear correct .

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
When you think of the drive cushions in the rear wheel, primary drive and the clutch the final drive gear arrangement does seem an odd arrangement of wanton free play.🫣

K2-K6:
Many bike's output sprocket are like this, with "jangly" fit.

Quite a neat design and with minimal machining needed, no real impact on performance either if they're not manufactured wayout of sensible tolerance.

They never usually get stuck either, so puller not necessary to extract along with some having restricted accessibility.

There's more driveline slack in each gear with dog engagement than you'd ever get here too. You'd never notice this little amount in practical terms.
