08 Nytro A-Arm Bushings

[Grizzly4323]

Was stuck the other day. Pulled on the ski and thought I was going to pull it off.. Give it a little shake and found the A-Arm bushings way sloppy. Do I go stock again or is there a better set of bushings available?? Sled doesn't have many kms on it, so don't want to go back to stock if they won't last. Thanks..

check out Allen Ulmer racing. he sells a set of machined bushings for the front end.
Great reviews and a good product. Im looking at ordering a set right now for my 05 RX-1.

I believe Yamaha was replacing these for free.

Even out of warranty??

they sent me a recall for an 09.......i'm sure 08 was affected too. check it out i'm sure the dealers will know if there recalled for 08.

Call BS!! They probably forgot to order them or Ulmer forgot to ship. Who knows for sure. Call them direct.
I Ordered!! Just spoke with Allen@Ulmer and he will ship today, Priority!! Should see in a couple days.:d
Yeh, don't want to waste my time with OEM again. As far as warranty goes... Well, that's about how far it went..

I built my own and they are twice as thick.... plus they are not made out of the cheap plastic that yamy made them out off.....

Good to hear 240Turbo.
I better get on it & order a set for the old RX-1. 5000kms & they are flopping around pretty good.
What did shipping cost? And was there any duty with the parts?
Just need to get all the funds together, I know the RX kit is twice the price the Nytro.

$75 for the Nytro Kit. Allan figured about 24 bucks for shipping. And your gunna get hit with Grand Slam Tax that's foresure.

I could build my own to, but I know what the material is worth never mind my machine time. $100 bucks is cheap..

Check out Pioneer Performance. They also sell a good replacement bushing. I'm running Ulmer's in my Nytro and Pioneer's in my Vector. Both are holding up much better than stock.

I guess I should say I had to build mine because my hole where the plastic crap bushing went got egged.......so I line bored the holes and made some bigger ones that will last way longer now. if they get all lose, chances are the holes are egged and you cant put the bushing in......well you could but it is not going to last long at all! it cost me $20 to get 4 bottom custom bushings made out of "Super" plastic at the machine shop! man do I miss my lathe! lol

Yeah!, isn't that the truth. 2 months ago I priced out 5/8 brass shaft for a different project. Minimum I could get was 12ft. cuz thats all they would order. At just over $12/ft. $100 is cheap.

[devil]

i used the ulmer oilite bushings on my 08 nytro turbo. was nice and tight even after a 1200+km season of hard mountain and backcountry riding.
