 Would someone who knows explain why Yamaha sets the capstans on new verticals
 high enough so the hammer shanks are slightly out from the rest rail cloth, 
as
 Ron mentions below?  I would probably regulate these pianos for normal lost
 motion, and I want to know if/why I shouldn't.  Or am I barking up the wrong
 tree?

This is what I learned to do. I adjust my capstan so that when you pull back 
on the rest rail, the hammer stands still, but when you push up on it, it 
moves. I will make a slight adjustment, creating a tad bit of lost motion, 
when the jack has a little trouble getting under the but.
