shimming

Hey all, Getting ready to put my project all back together soon, and I've got a brand new crank to throw in my cases, just wondering about the left hand side/primary drive side shim between the balancer and main bearing inner race. I know how to shim the right hand side to allow the right...

Can it be done on the bike without removing the torque limiter by just taking the side cover off? Or would it be best while the cover is off to go ahead and pull the clutch and tighten the spring on the sprague clutch??? Thanks. Roland
