            Gear Selecter End Float 
            
             I'd just like to check that it's normal for the gear lever (operated by your foot) to be able to be moved in & out of the crankcase about 3mm? 
             It's not something I've ever noticed before or on other bikes. Are all XT motors like that? Opinions welcome. Ta. |

             my XTR doesn't do that. I'd suggest checking the leaver is tight on the selector shaft, it can sometimes work it self loose.

             Checked that & the Selecter lever is tight on the shaft, the shaft itself moves in & out.

             Hi Desert Racer , I think it's normal...I was worried when I found the same thing on my XR650R...I was told it was fine, and my Ten does it also .Steve

             No need to panic. 2-3mm of movement is perfectly normal. TBH, I'd be more worried if it was tight and didn't move at all.
