Secondary floating?

[rmscustom]

Just got the new 13 home and I noticed the secondary clutch floats on the shaft about a 1/8" is this normal?

Yes, the secondary floats to keep axial force off the jackshaft bearing.

There are a combo of spacers on the bolt that determine float, and spacers behind the secondary on the jackshaft that determine offset - if you pull the secondary, pay attention to the jackshaft spacers, you don't want to lose them. The offset spacers and float spacers work together to provide clutch alignment and system durability. If you were to change the offset, e.g., you would also have to adjust the float.

Yeah, mine does too. I went back and asked my dealer about it and they said it was normal (self allignment?). Coming from my M7, if the secondary wiggled it meant the center bolt was coming loose, so I was concerned too.

Yeah, and your belts will last longer then on the fixed diamond Drive secondary too
