the only rear arm that has the slider blocks is the attack and LTX models (136" track models)
The 2009 arm(121"Mono suspension) has a piece of round tube welded to the arm, so you would have to buy the arm or take your old arm and weld a piece of round tubing to it
check out the parts cataloge at this site http://www.powersedge.com/?gclid=CP2gwK ... d8DkfOwfor a 2009 apex GT and you can see the piece in the parts break down
easey fix is just install the wheels you ordered

For you guys who have installed Ulmer's kit how long have the bearings lasted?

I'm at 5000miles no issues,
I just grease them once a year with a needle point injector

Benjiyam,
Thanks for the picture. I wish that Yamaha had done the same on the short track models.

yes i agree. that is a much better set up then the round tube welded to the suspension bracket on the 2009 - 121" track
in my opinion over a long period of time that piece of round bar is just going to wear and do damage to the track.
i made my own wheel kit back in 2007 for my apex. mine does not use the bearings everyone has had issues with. it uses small nylon wheels with bronze bushings pressed into them. I have not hade a single issue with them in over 5000 miles.
sometimes i wonder why it so hard for a company with the vast resources yamaha has to come up with a proper solution for these issues.
Oh well, they keep me busy and always thinking of a better way.
