In the images I saw of the SA bushing it appeared to be plastic. If that is the case, installing one is about as cool as buying a bike with plastic swingarm bushings. A good smear of grease on the shaft of the yoke whenever it inserted into the driveshaft will help dampen a clanging center driveshaft. As pedestrian as it is, it is still amazing what a little dab of the right grease in the right place can do for a mechanism or an insertion. George |
