[QUOTE="tjcassar, post: 24390, member: 1916"] I seem to go from sorting one problem to another. After changing all the springs PD6 and PD27 in the cush drive, as well as fitting the following new parts: PD5, PD8, PD1, I was sure that my primary drive would be perfect. Dream on.... The result is a very rigid cush drive much more jerky then before. The springs seem to be so hard. No they are not coil bound as I tried 2 beforehand as instructions sent to me by Russ suggested. Has anyone had this problem?? I opened up the chain case all over again after about 300 miles of use. All seems well but it is as good as a rigid sprocket. This results in having to use more clutch in traffic slipping it to reduce jerking. Before putting it together again as is, can anyone shed some light on what I could do? I thought of removing the internal springs to lighten the loading. Would this be a bad idea?? Thank you for any valid suggestion. Cheers. Tony [/QUOTE]
