When to replace bushings?
Have a 2008 SG with 30,000 miles on it. Wondering when it is time to replace bushings. Does not seem to be riding the way it used to, especially on curves.
Have a bagger-brace and checked all tire tread/pressure etc.

If your asking about the swingarm they have been bearings since 02, and they are a large roller bearing. Not much wear.
Check the neck bearing adjustment!

Fork bushings? Those are the only suspension bushings left. They are usually through the teflon by 50K, I would recommend replacing them at 40K

I would also recomend checking or just replacing all three motor mounts. Front is easy to inspect and if its showing signs of fatigue do all three especialy if you tend to drag a floor board more often than not and ride harder than average. New mounts staightened mine right out.
