1982 Maxim swingarm bushings

[okhiker]

Hi all

anyone know where I could get new swingarm bushings for a 1982 DOHC Maxim 400?

I have done some Googl'ing and found some for xs400 SOHC models but none for mine.

Thanks in advance

Greg

And that is because the Maxim uses needle bearings. They are available from the dealer for about $25/each. Every other source I tried either couldn't get them or were more expensive.

I hope your spacer bushing is still in good shape. They are about $80 and I found they are only available from one source, http://www.speedandsportinc.com/ who have 2 in stock.

Thanks for the reply Dave

Is replacing them a difficult procedure?

Yes, installing the new bearings without damaging them is difficult.
