Cush Drives - Info req'd please
 

All,

I have seen a thread somewhere on the forum that discusses the cush drive issue, what to look for and how to replace them.

Can someone point me to that thread please, and hopefully it will have a few piccies as well, just so i can see what people are atlking about.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards

WB. :bricks:

Cheers Motonacio,

Much appreciated....

WB :)

WB I am concerned that the cush drives on your wheels might not be similar to the Yamaha original ones because you have Marche$$ini wheel$$ on them, and perhaps they are different....

here is what the original look like:

Capt,

Good point, I'll find out tonight when i remove the rear wheel.

Cheers for the thought

W B, when you take out your rear wheel and discover a hand full of rubber bits and ****e where the cush-drives should be, pm me your address as I have a spare set I got under warrantee for my old XT, you can have them if you want them.

AJT690KTM,

Thanks for the offer mate. As the Capt reminded me, with the Marchenisi wheels i have a slightly different setup and when i removed the backwheel last night the cush drives are completely. Anyway, i have checked them for wear and tear and they are OK, i am pleased to say.

Thanks for the thought though mate

Cheers

Forgot you had Marchesini's, top quality kit!!! Mr Yamaha's cush drives last 500 miles if you are lucky!!

****** I didnt know they were knackered that quick!! I refited them on my rear tyre change 2300 miles do you think I should drop the wheel and change them now?

look first to see if they are worn first.
