rear sprocket moves?

[swoop]

I was cleaning my chain and noticed that the rear sprocket moves side to side if you push on it. Is that normal??? I only have 700 miles and this thing is falling apart. Stock standard 08 hyper.

Are the sprocket carrier bolts loose? Infidel had problems after a 520 chain conversion. Make sure you use locktite.

My stock sprocket did the same. I don't think its a problem so long as your sprocket nuts are tight and cush drive bushings are in good shape. At 700 miles, this shouldn't be a problem but if you are uncertain, take it back to the dealer.

The nuts are tight, sounds like the cush drive is bad already. I just figured I would have a few people here push on theirs to get an idea before I go back to the dealer. I'll post when I find something out.

Thanks,

You have 10000mls on a HM? Where in the world did you drive to?

You have my vote for sure.

yea, 10,000, i have had it a year August 28, and i couldn't ride it from Nov till April. that's mostly just commuting miles on the lovley freeways of Detroit.
