Rear sprocket play

[stnick]

Maybe it's always been this way but I just installed a new rear tire and thought I might take the time to clean my sprocket. While on the rear stand, I noticed a slight side to side play in the sprocket. Grab the sprocket and move it left and right and it moves slightly, also moves forward and backward ( direction of chain travel). Is this due to the rubber cush blocks?
My bike is an 07 with 16,000 miles. No burnouts but a lot of spirited riding.

Buy Greg's (smithabusa) pieces...they are MUCH better than stock.

I just installed a set of red Sensei cush blocks about an hour ago that I bought from Greg (above) at the beginning of the week. I can't wait to try them out tomorrow. My old one's definately had a bunch of play in them. They were letting the sprocket carrier move around quite a bit. With the new blocks, the sprocket carrier is held firmly in place.

Hey Greg
Are the red ones better than the Blue KPS ones that you were selling?

i think they are both about the same, i am having a super hard time getting the kps ones these days, the red ones ship the same day so that answers that LOL

Boy! The stock ones certainly don't last long at all?

Go for the new rubbers.
They did it for me.
Greg has a good deal for them.
