Jimmy:
The flats are from wear, and they do indeed increase the slop and
consume precious travel in the clutch disengagement.
Any clutch work should include renewal of these pins, and the
cross shaft. And no, you do not file a flat on the fork pins. The
throwout bearing sleeve will do that for you eventually =;-)

Subject: clutch fork pins
I'm installing a new clutch, cross shaft, bushes, and fork. My old fork has
flat spots on the pins. I assumed that these were from wear. In the buckeye
article it is suggested that these were intentionally filed there as part of
an installation. Both forks that I have had a look at had the flats.
It seems to me that this introduces undesireable slop into the actuating
mechanism.
What would be the point of the flats? Do I file flats on the new pins?
Thanks,
Jimmy Richards
