I have had an 01 and now an 06 Sprint. Drive line back lash was about the same for each (strange that) and in terms of rider feel and comfort etc is very dependant on chain adjustment. I try to have minimum chain slack but still retaining some free play at tightest point on chain. This helps. I think that its probably caused mainly from when fuelling cuts in and out and lowest throttle settings.
I have found it most annoying when travelling at moderate speeds and particularly with a pillion. Best way to overcome the on and off the throttle business I think is to continue to apply the rear brake whilst braking and slowly introduce throttle while still braking to take up drive line slack. Then when the corner is clear and the braking is done release the rear brake and power off to the nesxt corner. A bit odd to be applying a bit of throttle whilst finishing the braking off but for me it works. However for 06 Sprint the rear brake pedal effort is very high. This adds to the brain confusion a bit ie heaps of pedal pressure and opening the throttle - uugh - it sort of doesn't compute, but as I said for me it does work. Higher speed stuff for me is not a concern.
Cheers, Simmo
