clutch fork pins

["JIMMY RICHARDS" <andr.jrsquared@verizon.net>]

I'm installing a new clutch, cross shaft, bushes, and fork.  My old fork has
flat spots on the pins.  I assumed that these were from wear.  In the buckeye
article it is suggested that these were intentionally filed there as part of
an installation. Both forks that I have had a look at had the flats.

It seems to me that this introduces undesireable slop into the actuating
mechanism.

What would be the point of the flats? Do I file flats on the new pins?

Thanks,
