No not so much Moto, the only experience I have with it was when I raced the condo 750’s and with talking with other race teams such as GHR and the Sam Laws Yamaha race team.
The shock loading at high speed is what destroys the gearboxes, they are a basically a motorcross gearbox built as light as possible and the shock under load then free and then under load is the destroyer.
GHR had to run cushion drive hubs on there CRF450’s but never with their XR650’s and the 650 puts out heaps more torque. But the 650 gearbox is huge compared the the 450.

When I rode to the cape, you would be traveling at say 120kph and you could feel it speed up and slow the whole time as it gained and lost traction all the time this would load and unload the drive all the time.

The harder you ride the harder it will be on the bike, most of us probably wont ever have the problem but the potential is there

Yeah cushion drive hubs are needed on WR’s ask the Yamahas in the condo etc they spit gearboxs out there all the time without them as do the CRF’s

As there are only 4 of us going it will be a fast ride with few stops, can we make sure we all carry a tube and a spark plug for the two river crossings
