Hello Cush Drive, my old friend.
So, I got a mate of mine to change my tires lately.
I'd just had my 6,000 mile service at a Yamaha dealer... When we took the back wheel off, the rubbers were totally perished and there was cruddy rubber bits inside the hub, so I phoned the dealer. He said
Quote:
Cleaned out the hub as best I could (will have a proper clean at some point if anyone can recommend me something to get rid of baked on rubber??!) Popped the new rubbers in, put it all back together. 400 miles later... Well now the movement between sprocket and hub is like a prick in a bucket. I've got nearly a centimetre of play!! Grabbed a bit of an old inner tube, packed it out as per instructions today. Will let you know how it feels now, off to Scotland tomorrow! Just a bit pissed off that this is a known problem and the new rubbers seem to make it worse! LOOOOVE this bike, but there are a few little annoyances.

Simon - from all accounts, you are the lucky one! Or a magician with your throttle control?
Mine were shot, with a centremetre of play when I bought the bike (XTR) at 4,000klm. I packed them out with an inner tube, per the recommendation from this site, and 25,000klm later there is still no play. Happy days!
