grinding noises in the gears

OK Scott... you win. Even trying to prove my point with the pics doesn't hinder your opinion. Even people posting that they rode many miles without gear problems, didn't matter. Even others chiming in doesn't hinder your opinion. You are all knowing. Someday, I hope to tear apart as many motors as you and someday be deserving of the omni-potent knowledge you posess to help others correctly.

Others have different outcomes than what you had, yet yours trumps all. Others have motors that are obviously machined out of spec and way too tight since yours is obviously correct. To suggest your parts are worn for this "Floating" to be happening since it doesn't with other motors was purely insolence on my part and I humbly bow before your superiority.

Please forgive me, and please, everyone listen to Scott since his mechanical abilities and knowledge are obviously far superior to anyone else's. Just ask him.

So, as an experienced mechanic you're poking fun at me for linking to the official 1982 XJ1100J parts diagram and using the Yamaha parts nomenclature as shown on the Yamaha web site in a thread started by new member Cavbird about his 1982 XJ1100J ?

No, not poking fun at you, but at the whole discussion in general. Its kinda like the Baptists and Catholics arguing over the proper way to do a baptism, when in the end, they all end up in the same place anyhow. Sorry, didn't mean it to come across as personal.

The "That is all" thing was supposed to mimic the old Mash series when the guy on the loud speaker said something that was totally off the mark for the whole situation and finished by saying "That is all"
