no cush drive
06 Jan 2013 04:04
If I bolt a 530 sprocket to a suzuki gs hub and wheel, eliminating the
cush drive, Is there a voodoo not using a rubber drive? I don't want the
parts in there, they make the swap overcomplex, for no gain, unless that wheel's
going to break without rubber, I'm not using that crap. And I'm going to notice the
diff too. When I'm walking 5 miles, to get gas it's so fast now... whoa!
Light wheels and no cush drive. No rear fender, lightened front fender, no center stand, 530 chain.
Smaller batt, plastic headlight brack
BETTER FLOWING HEAD, MORE SOLID HPM POWER, SAME BORES, ITS TURNING OUT THE MONSTER,
THE FANTASTIC FOUR, EACH ONE MAXED OUT TO SLAP THE R6 UP AND SPINNING
, KZ DUST
HIGH RPM CLUB DAZED AND CONFUSED,
RPMS APPARRANTLEY NOT SO HIGH AFTER KZ ROARS BY, ALL YAMAHA RIDERS HAD PLANS TO PASS,
NEVER SAW ANY PASSES SAYS OLD MAN ON ROCKING CHAIR, JUST ALOT O DUST AND THAT KAWASAKI,
YESS SIR, SPIT, LIKE IT OUTYBEE,

Some aftermarket wheels (including the Morris Mags on my bike) do not have a cush drive.

Some race bikes don't use them, but they are needed on the street. The chain, clutch and transmission need the cush drive to last.

When my buddy with the turbo ZX11 and turbo Busa starts having problems related to the lack of a cush drive, then I may start thinking about getting worried about my sold by Kawasaki Morris Mags without a cush drive.

The diffrence being a wheel designed with one versus a wheel designed without one. Duh, I think I would go with what is designed for. This is a no brainer.
