I plan to do this on the 2013 I’m in the process of buying!! I was also pondering using some graphite on the sliders

[@richardarsenault1893]

Thanks for sharing this knowledge with us on how to fix the steering issues on these bikes. Exactly what I was looking for thank you! Where did you find that kit?

[@buggymanandhistoys6476]

It wasn't really a kit per say. I went to arctic cat parts house.com, found the part numbers and got our local dealer to order the parts individually. The bushings are 0405-445 (need 4) and the seals are 0405-461 (also need 4). I would recommend buying OEM parts cuz steering isn't one of those things you want to lose while ripping up the trails.

@@buggymanandhistoys6476 awesome man I really appreciate the help n your time! I'm gonna look into it

I got a question I have a dirt bike and it has a slightly glow at the header after about 30 sec of idle and I’ve found no air leaks, have replaced all the gaskits in carb and it doesn’t backfire do you think it’s normal? It’s only when it’s darker when you can see it

[@buggymanandhistoys6476]

ya that's not normal. without physically touching the bike, I can't really help. My first guess is its way way too lean. Being too lean creates immense heat insides the engine and is very VERY bad. Like piston melting bad. What does the spark plug look like?

[@wesh4233]

@@buggymanandhistoys6476 Yeah that’s what I was thinking and the spark plug looks fine actually it looks black but yeah I made a forum and had two people say it’s fine but that doesn’t seem right to me as well and I wanted to get some insight from other people that might have had some experience with this. My only guess now is maybe it’s out of time. thank you
