It has sloppy steering and only3500k on it
I need the kit and a little guidance in the removal and replacement. Thx

Yamaha has it's own kit for this now, at least here in Sweden.
Partnumber SMA-BEARI-NG-KT
It costs 379 SEK which is about $50.

Wow I checked here in Canada and the replacement parts are the same plastic crap. Fit a 2010 phazer ?

Got my kit in the mail yesterday. Thanks Rob!

This is the bearings I posted above, made in Canada by Yamaha Canada. So one would think that it would be possible to find it over there. Fits all Phazers 07- and Venture Lite/MP.

I don't know how well it works since I bought UP Bushmans bushings before this was available.

Installed these today they took 95% of the slop out of my steering the rest is in the linkage which I can live with, gets rid of the plastic washers, paid around $60 for them, well worth it, Yamaha factory upgrade.

The steering upgrade is well worth it and is Yamaha factory upgrade for the phazers, maybe its that dealer that is not worth bothering with, must be some dealer , does not want to sell Yamaha products?? the dealer I go to was more than happy to order it in.

Actually I consider them a very good dealer if they didn't want to sell me something they didn't believe it. My family has been customers there for over 31 years. They did say they would bring it in if I wanted.

That said, it was a new mechanics there so I don't have an opinion if him yet and I had just dropped a lot of money on my track extension so I wasn't actually that interested in spending more money.
