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