Cush Drive

[foyo1]

Hi just got a M600 as a winter bike but just gone to adjust the chain and noticed some play in the cush drive (about 3-4mm wheel movement) anybody tell me if they are U/S or still good for a while???

3-4mm of play in the cush drive rubbers? Is that measuring the play with the wheel out, and moving the sprocket carrier on the bare wheel? If so thats MILES too much.......and you need new rubbers.

thats with the wheel still on the bike, but that's the play the wheel has befor the sprocket carrier moves. so from what you say they are shot!!! any idea on the cost for a new set?? 1999 M600 cheers.

i replaced the cush drive rubbers on my ducati , mine cost £32.70 plus vat from jhp, the problem i had was getting the old ones out, I didnt want to knock it out as you cant get directly behind it to drift it out cleanly, I made a tool to draw them out, It worked great and never damaged the wheel at all,

If you have a problem getting the old ones out i will post you the tool as i doubt i will use it again and even if i did i can just make another one.

the new rubbers just went in easily

many thanks again, will pop down to woods at the weekend to pick a set up. if there going for £30 on ebay may as well get a new set for the money, and i know there new!!!

thanks again will keep you updated on how i get on.

Crikey -are they supposed to be that tight that you need a drift to knock them out ? Mine justlift straight out of the sprocket no force required at all

On a Monster Gav? On the Monsters and SS's, they seem to be so tight in their seats you just cant shift them.....might be the steel bushes pressurising the rubber against the wheel though.....

£6.95 each including VAT not to bad but having to wait until next Thur / Fri for them to be in stock....
