Hi guys, new member here. I have a question, searched the forum but couldn't find an answer.
I have my 250r torn down for a frame-up resto. I was checking the side to side deflection of the connecting rod, measured at the small end. The service manual gives a spec of less than 3mm and mine measured right at 2.5mm. What I'm wondering is: Is this "well within spec, good to go" or more like "barely within spec, will be out of spec soon, do the bottom end".
Could anyone tell me what kind of deflection I would expect to see on a brand new crank/rod/big end bearing?
Thanks in advance
