They are all in, it takes 18 rollers.

I have pondered this every time I work on the clutch 🤔

G'day Devlin.
As Julian says their all in. Their designed to have room to move.
I pack them with grease, put the split collets on, mount the thrust washer then feed the clutch on. You will need to have the chain on the clutch and engine sprocket when feeding the clutch on. Use that third arm that all motorcycle mechanics have

This is standard practice. Headstock bearings are the same, almost room for another ball.

Yeah, makes you wonder where they got the term 'crowded rollers' from when they're often anything but.........

[muskrat]

G'day Bon.
Crowded rollers means the rollers don't run in a cage like a normal ball/roller bearing. That way more rollers can be fitted in hence the term "crowded". So in respect the load is shared better. A normal caged bearing of that size would have only 14 rollers.

Finally got there via an add in OBM clutch now assembled, but I need a split link for the primary chain I will get a new chain eventually but short term a link will do, a google revealed  very little, and the usual suspects again vague about year, part number and availability any ideas would be great
