do these bikes have cush drive?
i was cleaning my chain and noticed there is alot of front to rear movement. about a 1/4 inch or more. my sport bikes all have rubber cush drive back there and dont rock back and forth but you end up pushing agains the rubber. do i make any sence? the gz just seems to knock back and forth. would anyone mind going out side and checking theres out? my bike only has 7400 miles on it.

Re: do these bikes have cush drive?
This bike had a lot more play in the drive than I was used to. So I see where you question might come from.
But, as mentioned, it is totally normal. |

Proper chain slack/tightness and smoother shifting will make the cush rubbers last longer.
