Nice one on The Domi, I've had my Naked for a year now, I went though the whole bike when I got it as I'm like that. Learned my way around it and put everything together properly and have had zero issues, it runs flawless and a beast to ride. Nothing like it once dialed in. Enjoy the journey! Adrian

Thanks Adrian, saw yours on the you tube video. Yep, going through the bike. Quite a few issues coming out of the woodwork, but I quite like sorting all this stuff out. It is indeed a journey!

Made more progress. The replacement caps came fr the SCS ECU, so while I'm not planning on using it, I think a good attempt to repair would be worth the effort for a spare, especially as the components were only a few pounds from ebay.
Everything ready, but I need to clean up the pads. Whats left of the original caps are still on the board, plus some mounting adhesive
these are the replacements
Not the neatest job, but a tricky one with the rudimentary soldering iron I had. If it all seems to work, I'll support the caps with something injected underneath them/around them.
In the mean time, my 36mm socket arrived and time to look at the cush driver rubbers as Ren showed some scary pictures of his. Mine were not much better. The bike has done around 5k miles:
I have new ones from Talon and they feel appreciably more robust. Not sure if that is because they are new and these have been pounded into submission!

well, at least I was able to give the rear wheel a clean. I'll post some close ups, but the failed cush rubbers have allowed the sprocket bolt heads that engage with these to start to eat into the hub.
These alerted my OCD, so I had to do something about the rust:
so cleaned them right back and repainted:
Better
Does any one know what was intended/could be bolted here? Maybe some form of hugger?
But of course that doesn't escape..
I have to be careful near this, as it appears I have created my very own black hole!
and lastly, the correct cable has arrived from SCS

Good Work . I believe the New Euro 4 bikes use those threaded holes for a EVAP cannister . Not certain though , but they could come in handy for you to mount something . The Norton cush drive rubbers are softer then the TALON TCDR-1 . Norton also shortened the cush drive pegs/bolt heads so they miss the hub inner hole. But maybe that will help maybe not .Here is the damage caused by the failing cush drives:

I forget, when are euro 3 and euro 4 bikes? My 2016 commando has those same frame holes under the mudguard.

Is there a way to check for bad crush rubbers without pulling the wheel / hub part?Here is the damage caused by the failing cush drives:
my commando looks like this.....
I don’t feel any play when I grab the sprocket at 12 and 6 o’clock or 3 and 9 o’clock.
there’s no gap between the hug and sprocket holder.
My dominator on the other hand has a slight gap but still no play between the hub and sprocket holder.

Sometime in 2017 started Euro 4 .. My bike 2014 has the the threaded holes too . I was just saying I think the Euro 4 bikes are using those holes for the EVAP cannister . I wonder if those threaded holes were used for frame construction/welding during manufacturing ?
Hi Scott , I have never been able to tell if my cush drive rubbers were worn without disassembly . Mine have been replaced multiple times in over 17 K Miles. You saw Vernon's cush drive after 5000 miles , I wouldn't wait too long to take a look.

I’m a car mechanic not a bike mechanic. What is the point of the rubber crush drives? To help take up drivetrain shock?

That might. I may look at getting the drive bolts machined down a little!

Same here...a few resto’s done and work on my daily driver when I get sticker shock at a repair quote! My understanding is the Cush drive cushions drive take up when changing gear, rolling on and off, where there could momentarily be far higher shock loads on the drive train components. I’ll post up pictures of my hub before I disassembled. There was no indication of their demise, but I’m not an expert! I checked mine, as it’s a simple thing to do (once my 36mm socket arrived), Especially when I saw Rens drive rubbers after 2500 miles. His looked shredded! (I think secretly he’s a speed demon/ wheelie merchant!).

I’ve just heard from one of the ex factory guys on FB. He said this was the spot for the charcoal canister....which I ‘think’ is the evap canister.....right?

I guess they really should have used quick release fasteners with some of the emission stuff!
