Cush Drive Rubbers
Having recently picked up my 2008 XT660Z Tenere and having read various posts on cush drive rubbers failing, thought I would have a look
at mine today. If I grab the rear sprocket and attempt to move it clockwise/counter clockwise, there is quite a bit of movement. Does this mean cush drive rubbers are worn out? I would have guessed that there should be no movement at all. The Bike has just over 10k miles on the clock. If they are worn, is it best to replace with an OEM item, or is there a more robust alternative available? |

The Yamaha OEM rubber set is around �32.
Wemoto do a set for �22.50 http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/yamaha/x..._rubber_-_set/ And AJSutton do the OEM version and their own 3rd party version http://www.yamahamotorcyclespares.co...er%20set?uid=0 They're all the same really. The only difference is price. Have you tried Kev's cush rubber mod? http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=12422

Yep, tried both the genuine and pattern parts and I can confirm there is no noticeable difference in how long they last. They are both rubbish!
Buy the cheap ones and do the inner tube mod, or cut some yourself out of PU sheet (which is what I'm going to do very soon). |

And lubricate them with silicone grease. After 8000km, they are still new.

I've replaced mine with a set from Wemoto. Once they start wearing I'm gonna try the inner tube mod. What I don't understand though, why are the cush drives made from marsh mallow? I've never owned a bike before that needed the cush drive rubbers replacing. Is it that the XT has cush drive rubbers made from a new rubbish material? Or is there some design flaw in the XT hub?

Can anyone supply me with the address where I can buy the blue poly cush rubbers.
Also has anyone fitted the Hepco and Becker centre stand and then a skid plate that can actually fit with the stand? I'm concerned that the centre stand pivot bracket is also used for most skid plates. Also whats the groups opinion about D&A's stage 2 filter mods in terms of filtering dust. The D & A may let in a lot of air but does it filter the dust like the OEM or other brands such as Uni filter. I'm about to ride 10,000 kays across Australia and have done the one and two filter mods and am now concerned that the filters may not be the best to stop that fine bull dust from passing through the filters. |
