a guy i race with just told me i would be going through many bushing on my new +2 a arms...is he full of crap or what? he said guys at the tracks with all kinds of a arms even the really expensive rolldesign arms, pop the bushings left and right.....ive never heard this, and kinda dont believe him......if its true, i know its easy to put them in the a arms, but how much do they cost? and how will i know if one is blown...thanks

 

I have never heard of the bushings popping, or breaking. They do wear with time, and need to be replaced like anything else. Now the ball joints on the other hand....they do tend to break every now and then.

 

I have +1 +1 Leager arms on my 250r. I replaced the bushing this past year.

The only trouble I had was when I tried to grease them. I got the teflon type bushings. When I pumped the grease in, it ppushed the bushing right out the side. When I called the dealer, he told me that these bushing take very little grease, due to their make up.

Other than that, not a problem.

 

Hey Lasher,

How do you like the +1 arms? Is it a night and day difference over stock or what? I find myself riding less and less in the woods and more and more on an MX track so I have been thinking about going with some +1 or +2 arms and axles. Just wanted to hear from a guy who has them.

Thanks,

 

To tell you honestly, I do not know.

The arms were on the quad when I brought it. I have never been on a stock 250r, didn't even take this one out for a test ride before buying it. (longer story)

I think I would like to go with the +2 arms for the track, but I can justify the extra cost right now. Overall the 250r handles great. If I was buying new, I would go for the +2 right off the bat.
