Had my KTM linkage on the workbench and greased it all up & then noticed a super thin steel shim/washer sitting there. I didn't remove it but it must have dropped out of wherever it came from.

Looking at the parts fiche it looks to me like #19 on the diagram - the size matches the spec in the parts fiche.

I'm curious why they would use a super thin washer on only one side and with 3 different thicknesses available (0.1,0.2 and 0.3 mm). What would that washer do and why only on one side?



Thoughts / ideas?

Probably similar to a shim in an engine, keeping the bearing assembly at a certain width.
