This is an oddity - there's a certain amount of sideways float on the cush drive/sprocket assembly.
You've got the spacer, and yes, I know it has to go the right way round, and that it's possible to get it the wrong way round resulting in a fully floating sprocket...
OK, but even the right way round I have a few mm of sideways play. That's enough to bring the alloy sprocket centre *just* in contact with the swinging arm. It doesn't rub, but it just kisses it.
I have the feeling the spacer is a couple of mm too long!
Local dealer reckoned it was a common thing and as long as it wasn't actually rubbing, then no worries - and the chain pulls the thing central anyway.
Comments? Solutions? Jeers?
