Front A Arm Bushings worn out?

[TurboTime2]

I've got under 1000km on my new 06 Apex Mtn. and the front bushings are shot. Anyone else notice this problem on their sleds? Would feel at ease a little, if my dealer would return my calls!

All my bushings seem to be wearing out---Got 3200KM's on it and the stearing is shot..Not impressed..

My a-arm bushings were way sloppy when I took the sled out of the crate. :?:

Everyone seems to say that its normal...check out Pioneer Performance they have a bushing kit for front ends that work miracles...i'm going to order 1

I have 9200kms on a RX1 05 and it never seemed to get any worst from new...there's lots of play about 3/4" at ski/spindle...but i'll give the new bushings a try.

Thought the same thing and went down to the dealer and checked out the demo with a couple hundred miles on and there is no difference , they start live very loose and stay that way. Even the brand new ones on the showroom floor are the same.

Dealer finally got back to me. He was out mountain riding himself. Said he doesn't like to here about any problems his customers are having and has forwarded my problem directly to Yamaha. I linked him to this forum in my last Email to show there is an ongoing problem not related to my machine alone. Maybe there's an upgrade coming our way ....free of charge!!!
