I had a worn set on a ZZR1100-C3, but it had taken a huge amount of abuse
at the drags, around France and everywhere else over a lot of miles.

I noticed a bit of lag between on and off, rolling off throttle while I was away. I'm wondering if the Cush drive rubbers were the issue. When I see it again, I might check them when I get back.
The initial attraction to motorcycling inflicts people for various reasons and at different stages in their lives. But once someone experiences the elation of riding a motorcycle there's no denying the nearly spiritual effect it has.

They do suffer on high performance bikes.
As I said a while back there's various suppliers of upgraded ones for Busa's / B-Kings etc.

I haven't seen them listed for 14's, but as 14's don't share many parts with other Suzuki's they might not be a common item.

Most 14's don't get as many 170hp hard launches as the Busa Boys do.

If they are REALLY bad you might be able to tell on the bike, turning the wheel either way with the bike in gear you can see any changes between the Cush drive and wheel. They would have to be REALLY bad and lose though, not just soft.

Thanks, I'll check throttle cable adjustments as well.
