how many miles out of cush drive rubbers

[ky busa]

the cush drive rubbers lasted 30,000 miles on my 05 busa i replaced them with suzuki parts man it feels good when you shift it now how many miles do you guys get out of yours

I like to change mine out every 7000 miles or so, i can tell when it starts feeling slopy back there to much lash in the drive train

I went to red ones at 27k. Stocks were pretty chewed up.

Hmm, Mine started feeling a bit chopy a couple of weeks ago. When I shift gears sometimes it feels like something is wrong with the rear tire. Never thought about this..

7000,27000,30000,that's a big difference???? Anybody else??

19000 so far. still looking fine.

It all depends on how hard you slam the throttle. At 12K on my 08 they still look and feel very solid.

Just changed tires at 8000 mi. and the hub was hard to get back into the cush rubbers so I guess they are still in good shape.

put your bike on a rear stand

if you hold your rear sprocket still and try turning the rear wheel...you will feel slop...normally slop tells you they are worn. New ones norally feel like you have to put effort into putting your cush into position. (ie: no slop)

Changed my first set at 17,000, don't know about you guys but I hammered them. Replaced with stock, and it was an amazing difference. Now, have a set of KPS that are going in my new LE wheels......uhhh....that is...when the Spud has some spendable income...

+1 or was.... GaleSpeed wheels use a much different cush drive and have not had to replace them yet..

SmithBoosta or something close to that had some heavy duty cush drive rubbers. It's really going to depend on the rider. Shake the rear wheel, you don't want a lot of play.

 

[dolilind]

7k and they where shot

 

[TIMMYDUCK]

Guess I better change mine out soon.

 

[mmawonder]

I like the kojak items but still not a supporter of the idea of making a flex point stiffer...pushes the shock that should've been absorbed there to other places.....places that break instead of wearing.....expensive places.???

I had 13000 on my 06 & they looked fine.
