No. I was lucky as my RS is a late production and already had the newer parts fitted as standard. By hand you should not get any play at all. I have 30k on mine so far and the assembly is still snug to assemble. There is no real 'pre-load' to speak of but if you have slop in the assembly by hand when you have 100+ hp on tap you would get a driveline with noticable 'snatch' to it. According to Bike Bandit they are $15.35 each and they usually quoth Triumph LIST prices to the penny. A bit expensive, but what Triumph parts are not.
Something you could check into.....
The rear hub is not made by Triumph and seems to be a bit 'universal' The rear sprocket from a 1999-2006 GSXR1000 is a perfect fit. Looking at the pictures it 'looks' as if the Suzuki cush drive rubbers are 'VERY' similar in design. At $6.37 each I would at least go to the dealer and take a good look at them.
You could put some shims in there made from an inner tube for a quick fix. Someone else here did that a while ago.
