Mainshaft inner race too far on
So I took my bike in, from the pictures the mechanic sent me it looks like he put the race on the inner primary flush against the seal instead of leaving the 1/10 or whatever it is hes supposed to in order to pull it off in the future.
Is that hat going to cause rubbing or just a pain in the *** to pull off next time I need to replace it?

If you paid to have it installed, you should not accept it unless done properly.

You may want to have him re-do it. It's not uncommon for the races to walk on the shaft. If they walk toward the transmission it will take out the seal and be very difficult to remove. There is a special tool you can get that will help remove a race that has walked all the way to the trans seal. To use it you cut a groove in the race then the took grips that groove and pulls it out. Good luck. In my limited experance, the races are a bitch to remove and to reinstall. Doable with the right tools but not an easy job. The spec for my bike was .100 to .125 gap. I could not install the race any farther than about.130
