Have Raptor 30 V2 bought used has flown great for a couple months, but I had a little mishap with the ground and i had to remove the engine for maintenance. I noticed that the clutch bell has a lot of side to side movement (excessive play). How much is OK when it comes to movement here. Or is there some way I can fix it. So I have the pinion gear on order, because the bearing moves on the gear mating surface. But i just wanted to know how much movement is normal here. I think mine is to much. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks,

Ken

The pinion should fit tight into the bearing. You can use loctite or superglue=CA (let CA dry first, efore you insert the pinion otherwise they willbe stuck together permanent).
The bearing usually can rotate a little, that's no problem because the engine has another bearing holding the clutch shaft.
But it should not shift/slide in its housing. If it slides, you need to modify the frame a bit. Probably you can find more on raptortechnique.com for that.

Thanks for that infomation on the Raptor. I will try thr CA to see if fit helps some.

Thanks again
