i need to get the back wheel put back onto the 600 before we leave tomorrow at like 4pm but i cant figure out how to get the cush drive back together anyone available to give me a hand tomorrow? i get off at 1130 or so

[deno]

Where's the problem? not enought clearance now...?

[iceman1911]

umm i dont know what the problem is i cant get the sprocket to fit back into the cush drive - i watched Mike take it apart and i got the front tire back on without a problem just cant figure out the back he was going to come help tonight but he had previous engagements so couldnt make it over not i am stuck with a bike without a rear tire on and we are supposed to leave tomorrow at like 430 for mexico - on the bikes

Have you got the cush rubbers in the hub??? Can you flip them over backwards???

[deno]

how far can you get the sprocket in there. Are you close? We talking inches or cm's here?

[redhead4u]

He's out trying to figure it out right now, not sure if he's making any progress though.

What was the trick???

[iceman1911]

put a screwdriver in the sprocket teeth and turn the back wheel till the chain clamps it in there then tighten the chain tensioning bolts (i forgot the actualy name Bryant used for them) and the axle nut - roll the tire back till the screwdriver comes free and TADA! the chain is perfectly tensioned - i was curious about damage to the chain and/or sprocket but Mike assures me it wont damage either one and he said if it does he will buy me a brand new sprocket and chain (well he didnt say that in those exact words but it was something close to that or along the lines of "it wont damage the chain or sprocket")
