Is that the third set of Yamaha rubbers or the third set of modified rubbers?

If you do this mod at around 6000kms you should not need to replace the yamaha rubbers for at least 30000kms.

Third set of Yamaha rubbers.
First set were replaced at 6,000miles I think, maybe earlier. Second set had the mod carried out and were sloppy by the 12k service. Third set fitted then. 15k on the clock now and there's a bit of play beginning...

I have 2 years of warranty, so ill let the dealer renew them every time it comes back.
This way yamaha might see that its replaced every 8000km's

going to do mine this weekend hopefully:048:

Does nobody do aftermarket cushdrives?

Not that I know of.

There's a market there then:sbike:

cush drive mod
 

Im just about to fit a new set cush rubbers to my 05 sounds like i could save myself some cash in the future by adding this mod now as well ? ? :045:

Welcome mate.
The mod does work well.:031:

Never wanted to do this mod, but...
Yesterday i collected my bike from the dealer, as i needed new ones.
The dealer told me they are no longer replaced under warranty.
He wanted me to pay � 60,- but i refused.
The first time they where replaced under warranty, i asked whether there wasnt a better alternative.
He said i shouldnt worry as i had a 2 year warranty.

Yamaha is no longer going to pay for the rubbers, they now see it as a wear part. (just like chains/sprockets)

My dealer didnt want to argue about it, so i got off without paying.


I will soon try to collect some 2nd hand inner tubes, to do this mod
