After a recent rebuild I removed the timing cover after a couple of hundred miles to reset the timing when I noticed that there was some in and out movement in the large dynamo pully. I did not do the initial strip down, this was done by SRM who returned the engine with the timing covers disassembled so I don't know if there should have been some type of spacer or washer between the gear and the inner timing cover. I have gone through all the parts books and diagrams I can find but nothing other than the cork spacer on the breather is visable. Should there be something to take up the play?. It does not seem to cause a problem with the chain but I was thinking of fitting a belt drive and am worried that the play might cause the belt to run off.
BTW Does anybody have any views on the merits of upgrading to the belt drive and perhaps a DVR2?. I am still on 6 Volts but I am using the bike day and night with CREE 12 Volt LED running lights with a 6 to 12 Volt inverter which seems to draw the same current as a headlight but with a much brighter light.
Cheers,
Peter
