How can you take up the play using rubber tubes.
Having changed my chain and sprockets today I noticed there is a bit of play with the rear sprocket and wheel.
After 12000miles I would assume it may be the Cush drives:smilies

Think there is an official kev mod description but heres a link.

if you do a search there are a few threads about this
you basically cut lenghts of inner tube lay them over the rubbers and push the sprocket carrier back on so it wraps around the lobes
think its about �20 for the set from yamaha for that amount id just replace em

Thanks for the advice

Yes, but before ye push all day to get the sprocket carrier to wedge itself in...liberaly spray the rubbers wi WD40....it`l squeeze in nicley...

Good advice. I learnt the hard way and struggled for ages getting the wheel and spacers inbefore resorting to silicone spray, then it was easy. Definately a good mod and both easy and worth doing.

just ordered mine today too �36 forgot there was 4 bits to it, why do they ask how many you want as if you'd ony replace 2 ?

mine also has too much play to be taken up with tube bits,
i expect them to be rock hard and in lots of little bits from the play i've got, the chain is too tight too which isn't helping, bike has 10k on it and as far as i know they are original

Why do assume this is a bad thing? Is there supposed to be a little "Give" in this area.
