My xtx has factory bushings still in and has approx 3000 km, so I probably going to be changing them. Yamaha has them for 79.95 SMA-8GLFR-KT-00 and ulmer has them for 75$. Is there any difference? Ulmer also Ski bolt bushings as well, if these need to be changed too I will get them from ulmer but if not I will most likely go with them from yamaha (save me shipping etc...) Oh I put 6.9 pilots on last year so I had to reverse the bushings.
Not much diffrence.The supplier for yamaha copied ulmers bushings.I would go with the original designer.

The OEM ski bolt bushings in the spindles wear out fast (not the ski bushings that you reversed in the Pilot skis). Replace them with Ulmer's bushings or spend a little more and go with UP bushman's stainless steel kit: http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php? ... ht=bushmen
