Posts: 45 Crawley WV Gender:	drive belt ? 12/01/12 at 13:02:06 I noticed yesterday that when my bike is not running I can move the belt front to back some(maybe a 1/4").I'm just wondering if this is normal or do i need to check this out.My bike is a 2012 model with 6000 miles on it.Yep sure do like to ride it.Thanks

Reply #5 - 12/01/12 at 14:25:25 ... but,.. the rear sprocket is not directly mounted to the wheel,.. (there's a rubber cushion thingy in between),.. so it will have a little slop... I doubt you have a problem at 6k... I have 30k... ...

I do not know on Aida's Savage, but on My Marauder, I have no visible slop in the cush drive. Nor on any other bike I have owned. (I guess I need to spend more time wrenching on her bike...)

For those that need a visual, they look like this. http://www.cincinnatisuperbikes.com/Suzuki-Heavy-Duty-Cush-Drive-Sets-p/cush.htm
