Perform a full replacement of the cush drive rubber blocks

1. Loosen the rear axle nut and remove the rear wheel from the swingarm. 2. Separate the sprocket carrier from the rear hub. 3. Identify and remove all six (or relevant quantity) old rubber cush drive dampers from the hub recesses. 4. Inspect the hub recesses for any damage or excessive wear before installing new dampers. 5. Insert the replacement rubber dampers, ensuring they are seated at the bottom of each recess. 6. Re-seat the sprocket carrier into the hub, ensuring the fingers fit snugly into the new rubber cushions. 7. Reinstall the rear wheel assembly, torque the axle nut to 100 Nm (72.5 lb-ft), and confirm the sprocket play is within normal operating limits.
