2000 M750 cush drive

[bdfinally]

Anyone know if the cush drives for the 750 stayed the same from 1999 to 2000. Found a used one on fleabay from a 1999.  Appearance is the same. Ducati Omaha parts list only goes back to 2000

As always thanks in advance.

I don't know for certain...

I'd take the chance as long as the wheel size was the same.

AFAIK, excluding S*R and later models, the only differences on the cush drives are small axle/big axle and 4.5"/5.5" rim.

So, you should be good to go.

yes they are the same.

between 1999 and 2000, they are two different part numbers, BUT, one was simply superceding the other.

it's help me out immensely on my 97 750 build.

Thanks guys. Story is I was on the way to the MotoAmerica racing on Saturday and my SuperLite Sprocket wallowed out and sheared the pins on the flange off. Ill post pics this evening and see if anyone has a theory on how that happens on a 3 year old sprocket.

It appears they've re-designed their sprockets since I bought this one about 3 years ago.



the resulting cush drive



I lubed the chain last Thursday prepping for my trip and didn't notice anything amiss.

[Speeddog]

The pin-studs thread in from the back side, and are left hand thread.
Occasionally, when removing the nuts to get the sprocket off, the pin-studs will loosen.
If they don't re-tighten when putting the nuts back on, the nuts will come up tight, but the pin-studs will eventually loosen.
Then the power pulses will eventually fatigue off the threaded ends.

[bdfinally]

Thanks Dog, that certainly sounds like something I should have caught. Damn expensive lesson learned.

[Speeddog]

It's also possible that the shallow counterbore in the sprocket was *slightly* too small, such that the rim on the flange of the nuts was contacting, and thus not staying tight.

[bdfinally]

Looks like in the redesign they've done away with the counter bore and it's a lots more stout in that area to boot.

[Speeddog]

That's a 5-bolt sprocket, so definitely not for your bike, and it looks like a CAD image to boot.
