Are you on about the cush-drive rubbers on the rear??? If so, yep swap them over (as long as they're not damaged)
Cheers!

No. sorry did not explain my self very well the old sprocket has like a rubber part on both sides. i cant seem to get it off any way so have just fitted the plain sprocket.
cheers

I replaced my front which didn't have the rubber on, i think they're all like that (aftermarket ones)

no rubber bits on mine either, ditch them. The new sprocket should come ready to fit!!

WTF is this rubber then?

I'd want my sprocket to be metal to metal on the faces otherwise you could end up with the sprocket flexing laterally.

And that would not be good news for alignment or chain wear rates.

The oem sprocket had a rubber cushion both sides on mine, the replacement Talon was bare metal.

Sorry matey, didn't read the thread properly.....JUST PUT THE SPROCKET ON!
all the best!

Same here....

Ignore the rubber. Install, torque to 50NM. Do up the chain and RIDE!!
