I changed my Sway Bar on my Warrior to a 13mm. There is a white plastic bushing in the bulkhead on each side where the sway bar goes through.
Does anyone know whether or not these have to be lubricated or not? I know that with some bushings lubrication can do more harm than good!!
 
I checked the manual.. It does not show that you should or shouldnt lubricate them...


Im guessing you shouldnt..
 
If the engineers thought that it should be lubricated they would have told us or put in zerks. The same way with the mono, I don't think that it is necessary. You will just have to pull the suspension every other year to see if those nylon spacers need replacing.

Yamaha has been using those spacers for years and my sled's needed to have them replaced when I would get about 6000 to 8000 miles on them.

Just my take on the subject.
