How much movement do you have in your rear sprocket? ZXR400 L moves about 1cm up and down.
time for new cush rubbers?

The readr sprocket shouldn't move at all it's bolted into place....................the rear sprocket carrier may well move a little if the cush drive rubbers are worn

That will be that then :D

Dont suppose anyone has one floating about thats in good nick have they? Going to The Farmyard Party / Rally in North Yorkshire on friday. Cant really afford to fork out for a new one after doing chain, sprockets and filling with new coolant.

Do what i did, cut some old innertube to small squares and superglue it to the surfaces off the cush drive, works a charm till you get money for a proper one ;)

I thought there was meant to be some slight rotational play in a sprocket carrier? I thought that was the point of the cush rubber? :smt017

They don't exactly have to be hammered in to fit if you get what I mean... or do they? shocking vsad
