Rear bushings.

Ok I need to change the rear bushing that goes to the rear spindle. Is there any aftermarket ones? I called Yamaha and they are $6.99 each. Not that I am cheap but I think this is high. Is there any other place that sales them or do I have to go to Yamaha to get them?

I can't help you here, try Big-R, Yank, or ridepate for help in this matter...as they have done it a couple times I think.

i just replaced all my rears and the spacers as they were all worn.
5.36 each bushing from my dealer, 9.25 for spacers

I replaced everything when I rebuilt the bushings. I spent about a $120. That was all bushings, all bolts and all spacers. I have not looked for aftermarket ones yet.

i have not seen any aftermarket ones yet, but you would think they would be out there. i have replaced my twice now, was not that bad either time, but it don't take much wear to get some looseness. i bet if you took the measurements, you could find bearings that would fit. bet they would last much longer with lube.

These are what I used. All balls seems to have quality stuff. this kit doesn't include the bolts.

Big R is right about replacing the bolts too. IMO if you do not replace it all you will wear out what you have replaced a lot quicker.

moose makes a kit.

use to be about $55. but $90 now

Do I need to do the spacers also or just the bushings?


Tim

Have you had them apart Tim? I know when I took mine apart they were pitted with rust. I would say yes. They come with the kit I posted.

Thanks nocerisdave I guess I will be trying out the all ball ones.I cant see paying double for the mosse ones.

Tim

I dont think you will be disappointed.

dang i wish i knew about that all balls kit before i bought all oem parts.
tim i would go with that and replace it all. my spacers were worn down about a 1/16" on the ends, had alot of play in there. now they are nice and tight after spending $100

i would go with the moose kit it has all the bushing and seals for the a arms and knuckles then i would grease them after every ride with green grease they will last alot longer
