Well surprise surprise after a meer 4008 miles, cush drive rubbers are shot, i did think about kev modding it up but cmc offered to replace on warranty. 4008 miles doesnt seam alot for a set of rubbers.
Still, no money out of my pocket.

I seem to replace mine every 6K kms, so 4K Miles sounds about right, whats the Kev Mod?

basically packing it with innertube rubber.

I have never replaced my sprocket rubbers in 70000 kms of riding my 3 XT660's, always done the sprocket rubber mod at 5K & all has been good.

Hey Kev, can you post the pic the rubber mod. I can't find it anymore.

See this thread, this mod is exactly the same for an X, R or Z as detailed.

You're not the only one who has had this problem, mine were shot after...well, around the 8000 mile mark I do recall, well, it is a single.

Wemoto now list these for the Tenere, about �19 a set iirc.

Useful if yours are too far gone to do the mod.

Let's hope they're not made of the same soft cheese that Yamaha use.

I bought the Wemoto ones 3,000km's ago, following a wheel-change over the weekend, I can confirm that these will soon be needing the Kev mod. So they are cheesey.
