[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1446860, member: 19880"] I guess it depends on your definition of "worn out". I'm pretty sure that dimensions are still well within whatever specs Yamaha has for them. There is no doubt that the Teflon (or whatever polymer they use) coating is worn off to a significant extent. I would not proactively replace bushings but would do them if I had to change seals anyway because of a leak I couldn't stop by cleaning the seals. Does it matter that the polymer coating has worn off especially since they are constantly bathed in oil? I don't know the answer to that one but with the "slide hammer" method of separating the forks is used to remove the seals, the upper and middle bushings are almost invariably damaged. I have never tried to remove/replace the seals without separating the forks... [/QUOTE]
