Hello everyone, I had some questions about the pivots on my 2001 RFX. I was just gonna call Turner and ask them but they are done for the day or something cause I got the answering machine.
1. The bike has the 5mm allen head bolts at the main pivots and they seem to be kinda on the verge of stripping so I was thinking about getting the bolts with the torx heads. Do I have to also switch the pivot shaft too or can I get just the bolts?
2. the non-drive side horst link pivot has developed a little side to side play. I checked the tightness of the bolts and nut and they are snug. I added some grease to the pivot but it still has some play. Should I call Turner and order a new bushings for that side only, both sides, or are there any secrets that I should know about. BTW this same thing happened on my Quasi and I found the bushings very easy to replace so if that is the advice then I'm fine with that. How expensive are they from Turner?
