[QUOTE="pdee4t, post: 183718, member: 1594"] hmm. I'll disagree somewhat by that and say anything over 550-600cc. The bigger bore bikes is where cush drives are most common on. But I agree that it can somewhat also depend on the bike. For mine, the previous owner to me that I bought my bike from a couple years ago did a lot of road riding with no cush drive set up at all, it only ever had 1 top end rebuild(came with receipts), and the timing chain wasn't even replaced, so it's still on its original timing chain as well as original gearbox, 8000+ km later. He only ever rode it on the road and his farm. It rarely saw hours in the state forest, and he did a lot more riding on pavement than anything else. So I think it's just something that people use as over precautionary measures sometimes too. Everyone I speak to, weather from other KTM dealerships, or little workshops, to people online, most have never heard of a KTM transmission failing all that much, even from road use with no cush drive assembly.
