I forgot to mention that it seems to help also if you remove all of the end play from the bendix. With the bendix in the case and the starter removed you can reach down in the starter hole with an o'ring pick and hook the bendix gear. You should be able to move the gear up and down. This is the play that I try to eliminate. Suspension shims seem to work the best. You want to put in enough to get rid of the end play but still allow the bendix to spin freely in the case. The bike should come stock with one shim at the top and one at the bottom of the bendix. Any additional shims added should be added to the top of the bendix. Good luck! Ross
