Top bush under seal is avail from local bearing shop but the lower bush has coating on outside and bike shop wants $90+ each in NZ :-\

While we are all at it, Whats the go with swing arm bushes ? both my MXa yamahas are getting a bit of a wobble in there and i assume they are some kind of bush or sleeve, getting harder to get throught scrutinerring, and im running out of grease :D

I just bought some bronze bushes for my MX swingarm , they are for RD350's , I have been informed that they fit, but just in case they don't I have some OEM on stand by (I will measure and compare the two when they arrive). Oh, I got them from HVC cycle on ebay.

Keep me poted on that, might be a good xmas precent to self.

I just got the new Bronze swingarm bushes from HVC cycle and the are a perfect match for the MX250 ones I got from Yamaha ;D ;D ;D
So if anyone is in need of some bushes for their Yammie MX then here you go...

What where they landed ? what are the Yam ones worth ?
-
The plastic yammie ones are worth $20 each, the HVC ones cost $54.50US (~$60AU) landed (by airmail it took 10 days)
"quality costs more" as they say. I have a NOS inner bush and it is a nice smooth fit in the bronze bush with a little grease added, I dare say I won't have any wobble issues with the swingarm again.
