I'd like to continue a thread started by Scott s back in 11/02/2012 regarding the kick start shim.
I have a 1976C XS650 (matching numbers) with 17k miles, and I'm doing a complete resto. Second owner, so I'm not sure who else has been into the engine. I removed the right hand cover to inspect the clutch, and found this "additional" shim/washer (#12 , just below) that is exactly like the one (#10, below) just behind the circlip (#11). BTW, the kickstart works fine on this bike.
At Yamahapartshouse, #10 and #12 (Washer, Plate, 90201-256K6-00) have the same part number.
SO, diagram below is the set up as I found it, but this diagram is for the 1983 model. My set up is supposed to be like the thumbnail diagram, from what I can find on the web. I dont trust my Clymer manual, as they left out the circlip from the diagram, confusing matters.
In the 2012 thread started by Scott s, there was discussion of shimming the kicker to reduce endplay. Perhaps this was being done by someone on my bike?? Any ideas?
