Engine mounts/tie-links -05 883

Does it exist any guidelines for how much movement are acceptable? Should lower front rubber mount ''sag'' ?

I think this is what your talking about.
I've never seen advertised tie link max or min. movement.



The rubber shouldn't sag.
What problems are you having?

I'm chasing a clanking sound which appears to come from the left side. Thought it was loose motor sprocket and/or loose magnets, took it off for inspection and found nothing wrong whatsoever in primary. Thought it was too easy to move engine on mounts, so I wonder if too much movement could cause engine to touch frame somewhere, making the clanking.
