That would be about .008 inch tooth-to-tooth clearance. I'd guess there is maybe .003 tooth clearance (strictly a guess) on a new spline but someone with a spline set could come up with an actual number.
Your spline alignment is presently pretty good obviously. If it was my bike, rather than chance an additional misalignment from dis and re assembly, I'd look into a hypodermic lube of each tooth. It is critical that each surface be lubed yet not get so much in that it would splatter onto the clutch disk. Some experiments with a bent insulin needle and slightly thinned spline lube would be in order first.
Strictly my opinion.
the onlyy misalignment that can be created by a disassembly/reassembly process is from failing to align the clutch disc itself (not using a pilot tool). the shaft misalighnment that destroys the shaft and clutch hub is one that exists in the interface between engine block and trans housings. that can not be created nor corrected via bsic mechanical work in this area.
if you were thinnking otherwise.... nevermind.
