MX250 Swing Arma Bushes - Available?

[mx250]

I'm after part#4    BUSH  3Y1-22184-01-00

The American webs sites I've check say that the part is obsolete etc and not available. I find that hard to believe because it a consumerable and applicable to a wide range of Yammies.  Does anyone know if they are still available or available under a different part#?

If you can,t get em MX just knock some up outta brass , works fine
Have done the complete linkage and swing arm on my 86 husky with no probs and expect them to outlast the stupid needle rollers.

agree. Did them in bronze...

[mx250]

If I had a lathe sitting in the garage I would .

I have a friend who'll do this type of work for me but at about $14 ea I wouldn't bother if they are available. I know brass would probably be better and last longer but I figure it is hartdly worth the effort.

Thanks guys.

You could try YZ 100 k bushes, they are still avaliable (well they were a couple of years ago anyway), they are made of the same nylon material, I would hazard a guess and say they would have to go close, if not the same. I have also had a set turned down from a nylon block...same process as the bronze examples, just nylon.

RD250/350/400 ones fit perfect, these are what I used in my MX250A

Would be surprised if http://www.yamaharetrospares.com/ did not have it. They bought all Pitmans old stock going back to the 60's. Give them a try. Also Speed and Sport in USA have 10 instock.

not after i picked the eyes out if before he got to it

i would have thought $14 would have been cheap ?  i doubt inc postage you get much better than that ?

[mx250]

Now that was an interesting exercise . The cheapest were $9.50 but their postage was $56. I emailed and asked them for a postage cost and they replied "pay the amount and we'll refund the difference after the actual postage is known". Well thanks but no thanks.

Another company is yet to reply .

So they are winging their way from NWVintage for $30 plus $6 postage.

would have been cheaper to make your own me thinks.
