Install new rubber cush drive dampers

1. Secure the motorcycle on a paddock stand and remove the rear wheel. 2. Extract the sprocket carrier from the hub by pulling it firmly outward. 3. Discard the hardened or crumbling rubber dampers. 4. Insert a new set of rubber dampers into the hub, ensuring they are oriented correctly according to the hub's geometry. 5. Do not apply grease to the new dampers, as this will degrade the rubber material. 6. Align the carrier fingers with the new dampers and push the carrier back into the hub until flush. 7. Reassemble the wheel assembly and verify that the sprocket carrier no longer exhibits abnormal movement.
