I've got a 2003 DS-650 Baja and the front "A" Arm bushings are loose. Who has bronze or better than stock aftrer market replacements?

Thanks

Make sure your a-arm bolts are tight. I replaced all of mine then realized that the bolts were loose. Just an idea.

Thanks Justin, but mine seem to be tight. The Bushings appear to be loose on the upper "A" Arms and I sure as hell don't want to put back in the stock plastic bushings. There are "After Market" bronze & plastic bushings available for Yamahas and that is what I'm looking for!

Thanks for the reply and Merry Christmas to you & your's!

Alba has a good replacement kit I guess. But make sure your bolts are tight! It may seem like they're tight untill you check them.

 

I don't know of any companies that make any replacement bushings, but they are of a very simple design so any competent machine shop could turn out a set in a day. My first set felt loose at about 50 hours, so now I grease the whole machine every ride, and they are still good with over 300 hours on the machine.
