If the forks are 43mm like on the 465 the easiest thing to do is get a moose racing kit which is made by all balls, the kit contains the correct bushes & retainers as well as a few extra parts
I got mine off ebay for about what 1 bush costs from yamaha

Thats exactly what I was going to do. Just the listing in the catalogue at the local shop starts its YZ250 listing from 1982.

Thanks
