Yes that's the one you need & at a very good price. I paid 3 times that price for mine from Suzuki.

Thanks for the advice about drive sets Kev.
Have bought Tsubaki 520 Sigma X ring endless chain plus steel sprockets coming tomorrow. The retailer reckons this is comparable with DID ZVM in tensile strength.

Hi Kev,

What brand/type do you recommend for the front and rear sprockets (and are easily available in Oz)?

Did you need to change the front sprocket when you put the new chain on at 18,000 Kms ? ... did you replace the rear ?

Thanks

Paul

I used JT sprockets. Order them at your local bike shop.

tyres / cush drive

Evening All.
Just got myself a set of the Avon Distanzias. Nobody has probably heard of them, very rare tyre, no talk of them on this forum !!!!!!!!!! lol. . . . Now ,how right you all are. Dam Amazing !! Mega grip, (even in the wet), excellent cornering. Hope they last as well as reported. But whilst having them fitted at a mates garage, he pointed out the rear cush drive. Perrished, broken up, looked like it had done 50k. (not 1900 !!!!!) Called the yam dealer bought the bike from who said it will becovered under warranty. He seemed of no surprise at all. (obviously commen prob ????) Do anybody know if there is a heavyier duty cush drive available ? How many and how long are yamaha going to keep replacing for ???
All comment appreciated. Cheers

Was messing around on the bike yesterday after cleanin all the gunk around the front sprokect and started on the rear when i checked the chain i noticed there was alot of play on the rear sprocket. I didnt take it off or apart (hadnt time) but i take it is the cush drives that are causing this? I cant understand why they designed them so they need replacing so much or wear down so much. I might when i get round to buying a padack stand take the rear wheel off and look at how bad they are. Cause at the moment there is a good enough bit of play with them.

By chance how much are they off the top of someones head??

I thought that that kind of play in the chain means it needs replacing?

Got my first set on warranty but looking at the wear I'd be claiming every 800 miles.

Fitted them last time with a smear of vaseline but they where wearing just as fast. So I took the new set out and refitted the old set but packed them out with old inner tube. Will just do this till I sell the bike when I'll fit the new set.

The inner tube works fine and stops the very loose sprocket carrier giving a snatchy transmission.
