End Play

[SNM8T]

The other day I installed a different secondary helix and spring in my 2020 expert 850. I went ahead and grabbed the primary clutch and moved it vertically and horizontally as I could, and it appears that there is end play. Is the normal fitment for this motor design? Mind you that the motor has only 500 miles and all this was done on a 'cold engine'. Thanks for reading!

Endplay and engine mounts moving are different. Yes you can get the engine to move in the mounts.

Yes I know. Sled has the grip n rip torque stop, not saying that it fixes the flex in the motor mounts. This definitely feels like slop within the crank and case. Sled does have SHOT and my initial thought was the motor was designed with some movement in-order to assist in starting.

I have no play in my 2 sleds.

I have never felt any end play on any of my sleds within the crank and case either, Don't sound good IMO

Cold or warm motor shouldn't make any difference. Did ya happen to check the primary bolt torque? Maybe pull primary & grab crank to see if ya get any movement there, if not check primary out for something amiss while its off.
