countershaft lateral freeplay

hi all, im wondering if ive got an issue with my countershaft, can someone please check theirs, simply grab the shaft [ with the sprkt on] and see how much you can push it in & out, how much does yours move?, thanks for your efforts

Without looking I would guess mine is 1-2mm  

yeah mines 1.45mm, think my notchie gear change was the low oil level, from the oil she's been burning during run in...., might have an issue with glazed bore..

just had to tear down my mtr to replace countershaft input bearing, now that i think about it ... i hadnt replaced that one previously as it wasnt avail locally at the time i was rebuilding it, it started off as a noise, then started affecting the driveline as it snatched /released, hadnt caused any gears to be damaged[ could have if i'd left it longer] new bearing arrives tommorow, then it will be a quick reassembly ready to ship down to sth isld on the 15th nov

Also at the last minute found ive got a very worn out stopper cam, the pin has been wearing side ways, nearly right thru, + they are'nt in stock in NZ, so im probably going to make one up out of some stainless steel plate

my v/ guides finally arrived , only a week late, got the topend assembled , bike got on a truck 2nite, i fly down to the sth isld 2moro, bike should arrive the next day, then ive got to finish running it in and change the oil/filter ready for 5-6,000kms around south isld of new zealand, will post some pics on my return
