Its bound to happen sooner or later,the inevitable came when I had a tyre puncture,I came to know of the cush drive which is not up to mark.

Searched this forum and found out of Kev's mod which is to put used rubber tubes in between to eliminate the clearance.

Juz for the benefit of the rest,I've taken some photos to share with.

Anyway,shame on you yamaha,using below par cush drives.

Ok,this is my cush drive after 5555km..(sorry,couldnt resist it,juz a nice number to do the mod)


Here is my slightly knackered cush drive.. 80% of normal commuting & 20% of commuting..(and its already like this?? )


After taking out the rubber



After some light cleaning,this was the amount of rubber that has disintegrated



After placing back the cush drive,I cut out some rubber sheets from a punctured used tube to remove the clearance..



And after which,push the sprocket carrier into it..


Ahh..no more clearance..



back in place..


After effects of the mod.

What can I say,it was a great mod to do yet cheap.. Thanks Kev..

No more snatching observed. Smooth feel when riding. Brilliant.

And now to test it offroad in the future..

Next mod..the ^*&^#! oil breather..
For a brilliant bike..it sure does have plenty of issues..damn u yammy..
