I can feel a little a little slop in the handlebars of my 10 Vector LTX. What bushings should be used to help clean this up. There are several kits that can be purchased, but $ won't allow me to do them all... Most crucial ones to change?
Thanks all for the help!

How many miles? Some seem to be sloppy off the showroom floor! This has been talked about a few times in the past about fixing the normal slop.

i replaced my bushings with oil lite bushings from ulmer racing, pay alittle more but will be the last time you have to mess with the a-arm bushings, dont waste your money or time on the OEM yamaha bushings, they will just wear out again
Not sure on a vector, but on an apex, the ones in the steering column give you the most slop from the bars. Again, don't waste your time with OEM, go with OFT. As stated above, the a-arm bushing get very loose, but I don't think you feel that through the bars as much until they are really shot. That being said, they can be more crucial than the steering bushings. I would really try to do both if they are bad.

Do your A-arms not have grease fittings in them? If so, I'd look at the OFT steering kit but even then, you are going to have some slight slop due to the amount of joints in the system.
