crankshaft balancer backlash adjustment

Now that we're back on topic.
When I get home I can post the procedure for adjusting the balancer. Basically it's initially done when cold, less than 95°F. Loosen the pinch bolt turn counterclockwise till resistance is felt then turn clockwise three graduations and tighten the pinch bolt. There is a punch mark on the balancer that you use for reference and the graduations are the lines on the clamp. After that warm up the bike and listen for rattling or whining. If rattling loosen the pinch bolt and turn the adjuster counterclockwise till it whines then bring it back till it stops. Tighten the pinch bolt. Blip the throttle and verify it's not rattling. This is paraphrasing at best and not a direct quote from the FSM.

Do not over tighten your balance or it will lunch bearings and bad things will happen.
