Hi all, just was doing the "pre-winter" clean and noticed that when I hold my sprocket and chain and move the rear tire back and forth their is about a 1/8-1/4 inch of play, is this normal,,,,,,,,and why? The sprocket and chain are held tight but when I rotate the tire back and forth I notice this play in the hub assembly.

Are you talking about If you hold the tire still and grab the rear sprocket? If the sprocket/hub can move seperate from the rim then the drive cushions are shot. There are 6 rubber cushions inside of the hub that absorb the shock in the drive train. Item #17

No I hold the sprocket and chain still and the hub moves back and forth,,,,,,,912 miles 04
I guess what I meant to say is when I rotate the tire back and forth not side to side. Everything is tight but their still is a 1/4 play.

The cush drive is suposed to have some play in it.
I figured it was suppose to have some play, just wasn't positive. Thanks
Yup, Some play... That's kinda the whole purpose, and why some wheels are marked "FOR RACE USE ONLY" They lack a REAL cush drive and transfer all the shocks and loads directly to the finaldrive and tranny.
Sounds like your good to go...
