Cush drive play

[flak monkey]

Quick and easy one....Should there be any play in the cush drive on the rear wheel?

Noticed there is a fair bit on mine when lubing the chain this afternoon. Probably move the sprocket back and forth about 3 or 4mm. Never noticed it on any other bikes....

Thanks

not so much about the amount of play but more how hard the rubber has gone.
over time they loose the rubberyness - for example i took some out of a machine yesterday and they were like blocks of granite.
they had actually shattered into pieces

Jesus!
What sort of high-powered machine is this that can shatter pieces of granite?
I might want to swap my Storm for one.....
You building a drag strip special to get me at the Bulldog Bash?

Doesnt seem to affect anything at the moment. Will change them next time the chain and sprockets are changed then
