Pete in PA Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Since it's VERY slow in the garage and I've been wondering this here goes. In 99 they made these rubbers 12% stiffer to reduce driveline lash. I've been noticeing more lash lately in my bike even with a properly adjusted chain. When these rubbers age, do they get softer or harder? Will the new ones fit on my bike, a 98? Do they even make 2 different part #'s or just 1 replacement # for all years? Are they expensive? Should I not bother for what I'll get out of it?

Involute Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Are they pretty easy to change? edit: Nevermind, just looked at the manual. It looks like a piece of cake. Everybody quit typing your response and get back to your lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 they typically get harder......and shrink marginally :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XX Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 i'd be interested in post mortem autopsy pics of these cush drive rubbers (old vs new) after you swap them out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted July 9, 2004 Author Share Posted July 9, 2004 Anyone done this or have the part#'s and price? I think I'll order an air filter at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted July 9, 2004 Author Share Posted July 9, 2004 Thanks Joe, I think I'll do it. Not too much bling. Need a rear tire soon anyway. :roll: I'll add an air filter also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted July 19, 2004 Author Share Posted July 19, 2004 Well I changed out my rubbers. While doing it I noticed the old ones were slightly distorted, (bent). The first thing I noticed was I couldn't put the sprocket carrier back in. With the old ones it slipped in with ease. I had to lube them with silicone spray, then it went on tightly. On the road I do notice less lash in the driveline so well worth the $32. BTW I also have a B'stone 020 on the rear and a Metzeler Z6 on the front and it handles and sticks great. While changeing the tire myself I found the 020 to be VERY stiff and hard to lever on. The Metzeler was WAY easier to mount. Yet the 020 isn't stiff over bumps while riding. Weird :???: Maybe this will translate into better mileage out of the 020. If not Road Attacks next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG BOY Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Pete, i have about 2000 on it now and still looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie_xx Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 BTW, when you look at the drawings like the one above, anytime there is a "box" with the part number and another part numbers inside, that means you can buy it as the set or individuall parts.... Look at the wheel, you can buy it complete or just the components..... The only thing sometimes is, you can't buy the main part by itself - like the rim in this case....
