650/X-2 650 Bendix / Bearing Size

[Mike W]

I ended up tearing down my X2 engine yesterday due to a noisy crank and I am in the process of sorting everything. I noticed there was excess slop when I removed the bendix from the case so I measured the bendix which was 12.00 mm and the bushing measured 12.10. I'm a Yamaha guy and this is my first Kawasaki rebuild. I just need to know if this is within tolerance for Kawasaki's.

Thanks in advance.

Well, .1MM = .004". Thats not bad for a used engine.
