350X swingarm bushings,chain issue.

[beets442]

I'm wanting to replace the bushings, bearings and couldnt find oem. Did some seaching and found some kits, but want best quality.
Anyone sell them?
Also it started to throw the chain, but only on a steep incline. I tightened the chain and it helps but after a while....
Now I looked at the alignment from sprocket to sprocket and squareness of the rear end and its looks good.
The rear gear has some slight wear on one side after two years.
Hoping that bushings might help......

Ya know, were all buying these All Balls kits; But there price kinda says "cheap Chinese knockoff". I'm sure many people while say that they worked great for them and lasted years. I'm happy for them........

However, If I took it apart, I would measure it and order a Timken, SKF, Nachi or other bearings of industrial quality. But if your carrier is trashed, then do what you have to do. I get my rubber coated/dual lip seals from Harwal out of Vermont I believe. I have a bad habit of buying 10 at a time of the things I need :lol:.

And the swingarm pivot, once you hear a squeak, there shot and sometimes you can't feel the play because everything in there is rusted and jammed with mud.

To me, it's just normal maintenance. But when I'm riding allot, I expect it. And don't listen to anyone who says stuff like "crate motors need new clutches". I wish they were at TF to hear me slam my 350X through all 6 gears 10 times with a constant wide open throttle and just jamming shifts while never letting off the throttle. Now that was SEVERE clutch abuse :lol:

I bought those bushings also and love them. No play at all. The good (and bad) thing is that they come too wide and you have to shave some off the outer flange for them to fit. I didn't mind that because I got them to fit really tight with no play. I just used a belt sander to get them to where they needed to be.
